The card was printed by N.E.R.Y. P., Madrid, a known publisher of high-quality embroidered postcards.

This vintage Spanish embroidered postcard features a striking depiction of two flamenco dancers—a male and a female—in traditional attire, performing the dynamic Bulerías dance. The card is printed in full color and enhanced with silk-thread embroidery, a technique popular in early-to-mid 20th-century European souvenir postcards. 

A circular inset highlights the male dancer’s portrait, adding visual focus and elegance to the composition. The lower front margin bears the markings “Bulerías-45” and “I. M. Dominguin,” likely denoting the dance style and the publisher or artisan responsible for the card’s production.

This piece exemplifies the rich folkloric tradition of Spanish dance and the highly collectible embroidered postcard genre. Its combination of printed imagery and silk embroidery offers tactile and visual appeal, making it a fine addition for collectors of vintage postcards, Spanish cultural memorabilia, or dance-themed ephemera.
