    Found this at the local thrift store ($1.95!) - it appears truly old. My question is could this be a original from Cuba?
    It is the only poster I've ever seen that has no markings along bottom relling what printer made it, where it was printed, date of printing, etc..
    Has anyone seen anything like this?
    When Cuba was a hard core communist country, maybe they didn't mark their posters?
    Beautiful old poster, but weird that you can't tell who made it!

    the original poster was printed in 1949 for the Cuban Tourist Commission by Artes Graficas in Cuba. If it were an original it would sell quite well https://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-Vintage-Travel-Poster-CUBA-Holiday-Isle-Tropics-1949-Dancer-RARE-/261473970470?hash=item3ce1102926&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&nma=true&si=7VfAbhI2wzo%2FvGVyQAv4g3CDKGc%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
    however it would have the Cuban Tourist Commission in lower left and printed in Cuba in lower right. reproductions are quite popular.https://www.printcollection.com/products/cuba-holiday-isle-of-the-tropics#.WwdoaMuotD9

    Poor lady. Apparently she had rickets as a child.
