A tour of the advertising posters of the Madrid trade from 1870 to 1960

 Until July 30, the people of Madrid will be able to visit the exhibition "For sale here" of advertising posters from the history of Madrid's commerce, from the Carlos Velasco collection, in the SOUTH Room of the Conde Duque Cultural Center.

 This exhibition reflects an endearing journey through the city's commerce (1870-1960). Highlight the advertisements that carried the tagline "For sale here" and that at the end of the XNUMXth century the world of advertising was yet to be discovered. However, the first advertising poster in the history of Spain was that of the chocolate maker Matías López: "The fat ones and the skinny ones", which can be seen in the exhibition in version packaging.

The exhibition is organized by thematic groups and  prominent poster artists who transport us to the past of the ancient  ads  original and claim the historical role of local and neighborhood commerce.
