Ernest Hemingway used bullfighting ticket from 26 July 1959 at the Plaza Toros de Valencia in Valencia, Spain.

The colorful paper ticket lists the numbered section Hemingway sat in, and contains a lively depiction of a bullfighting scene. Right edge is torn from where the ticket stub was detached. A unique artifact closely affiliated with the actual work of one of America's most storied writers. Measures approximately 6'' x 3''. Punch holes from entry, otherwise near fine condition.
