Barcelona 1992 Paralympic Poster by Javier Mariscal · Petra and Globe · 70 × 50 cm

Barcelona 1992 Paralympic Games poster by Javier Mariscal, featuring Petra leaping above an illustrated globe. The red-clad mascot stretches across a sky scattered with stars, tiny planets and playful flying objects, with large PETRA lettering below the Earth.

The bottom margin identifies the IX Paralympic Games in Catalan, Spanish, French and English, with the event dates of 3–14 September. This is the Petra-and-globe design, distinct from the separate “Encendrem passions” torch relay poster and from the Olympic Games poster series.

Condition and edition

Condition: 6/10, as recorded for this vintage copy. Photographs show waviness and curling along the side margins, small edge irregularities and a few marks in the pale border, including near the lower-right corner. The upper-right edge also shows a small crease or nick. Please examine the photographs for the condition of the actual sheet offered. The black hanging rails are photographic display accessories; their inclusion is not specified. No handwritten signature, numbered edition or particular printing process is established for this copy. The 1992 date identifies the Games rather than a separately verified printing year.

Colour and display

Soft blue seas, cream and pale ochre continents and green land details contrast with Petra’s bright red clothing and peach-toned face and legs. Fine black outlines and small yellow stars keep the pale background lively. The light, playful palette would suit a creative workspace, informal study or family living area, especially with pale wood, soft blue furnishings or a restrained red accent.
