Vtg Mid Century Mexican Folk Art Market Scene Cornejo Print Board Carved Frame. Lower-Right Corner: Bears the printed signature of the original artist, "Cornejo". A vibrant mid-century Mexican marketplace scene set in a sunlit colonial village square. In the foreground, a prominent merchant wearing a traditional straw hat is crouched down, meticulously arranging large black clay pottery ollas (cooking jars). Behind him, the village tianguis (open-air market) comes alive with townspeople shopping under a canopy of multi-colored canvas awnings. The background features a striking colonial-style church mission, complete with a bell tower and dome against a blue sky with soft white clouds." Lower-Left Corner: Inscribed with the vintage publisher's registry mark, "J.L.R. Impresos D.R." Lower-Right Corner: Bears the printed signature of the original artist, "Cornejo". Framing: Housed in its authentic, original mid-century Mexican hand-carved solid wood frame. The frame features a highly recognizable scalloped, wavy border accented by deep, vertical gouge-carved details along the perimeter. Very Good/Good Vintage Condition: "The print retains beautiful color with only minor surface scuffs or dust consistent with age. The original carved wooden frame shows a few light dings or character marks but remains tight, sturdy, and ready to hang."
