About the Poster: Although diplomatic relations between the United States and Castro's Cuba broke off in 1961, that didn't mean that the Cuban tourist industry came to a grinding halt. In fact, the National Tourism Industry Institute (or INIT, the acronym under which it is known in Cuba,), uses one of the big cats from the Havana zoo to lure Hispanic travellers to the capital city.
Hernandez places the seemingly-uncaged candy-striped cat directly before the public, a non-confrontational graphic encounter in the making!
Linen backed and ready to frame.
