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composed of 39 engravings and published for the first time in 1816, together with another eleven prints called “unpublished” because they did not appear in that first edition.
