  Lot#783      LUIS MIGUEL DOMINGUIN. Manuscript LS: "Dominguin", 1p, 8¼x11. Hotel Quito, Quito, Ecuador, 1964 December 20. To John Hunt, The Saturday Evening Post. In part: "Unfortunately it will not be possible for me to get to New York as planned. The proximity of the Christmas holidays and some pressing business in Madrid are the main reason for my canceling this trip...." Born Luis Miguel Gonzalez Lucas (1926-1995), the Spanish bullfighter adopted his father's name to gain popularity. His father, Luis Miguel Dominguin, was a legendary bullfighter and the subject of an 1897 painting by Picasso. The new "Luis Miguel Domingion" became a legend in his own right in the 1940s and 1950s as he conquered bulls in Spain, Portugal and South America. Lightly creased. Staple holes and ink mark at upper left corner. Folds, vertical fold touches end of signature. Overall, fine condition.
