Collection of engravings. “Goya’s Bullfighting”. Special edition directed by Antonio de Horna. 1815-1983. Madrid, Culture and Art Collection, De Horna Editores. 39 sheets. Antonio de Horna directed this compilation of the series of engravings of La Tauromaquia by Francisco de Goya (1746-1828), composed of 39 engravings and published for the first time in 1816, together with another eleven prints called “unpublished” because they did not appear in that first edition. He apparently wanted to use it to illustrate passages from “Historical Letter on the Origin and Progress of Bullfights in Spain”, a work by Nicolás Fernández de Moratín from 1777, to which he added personal memories and some famous incidents from the painter’s time.
