Nogués submitted this poster to the competition held in 1927 by the executive committee of the Barcelona International Exhibition to advertise this major event but did not win a prize. It was published by I. G. Seix & Barral, Herms, S.A., Barcelona. This poster is very similar to C0004 but has no decorative border or arches. The details of the buildings are better defined. It was published in a larger format with the caption inside the image. This version was used to advertise the Spanish Village, the Poble Espanyol (see CA0007). Image rights: Palau Antiguitats.
