Barcelona 1992 Paralympic Torch Relay Poster by Javier Mariscal · Petra · Encendrem passions

Barcelona 1992 Paralympic torch relay poster by Javier Mariscal, featuring Petra beneath the Catalan headline “Encendrem passions”. Petra balances a flaming torch above her head in a lively illustrated landscape populated by small torch-bearing figures, a wheelchair user, palm trees, buildings and colourful vehicles.

The printed text announces the Paralympic torch route from 31 August to 3 September and lists the participating towns and cities. This is a Paralympic torch relay poster, distinct from the separate Petra-and-globe design and from the Olympic Games poster series.
