Spain: Bullfighting Torero Chamaco Tuser - First Day Cancellation Maximum Card (Vintage PC 1960)

this is an official spanish maximum card (tarjeta maxima) created on a vintage color art postcard. it features a classic bullfighting scene based on an oil painting by the artist tuser, titled "un natural de chamaco" (natural pass by chamaco).
the front showcases the vibrant colored illustration with multilingual captions at the bottom (passe naturelle / un natural de chamaco / natural pass). the card is franked with the matching green 1.50 pesetas "correos españa" stamp from the corrida de toros series, which replicates the exact same artwork.
it is officially cancelled with a special first day of issue cancellation stamp (primer dia de emision) from madrid, dated february 29, 1960 (29.feb.60), a rare leap year date.
the back of the postcard is unused and unwritten. it features the official publisher information "asi torea chamaco (oleos de tuser, segun apuntes del natural) coleccion de diez postales" along with the logo of "editorial artigas barcelona" and the number 5547. it shows some vintage handling marks and light ink mirroring from the front cancellation process.
