2008 Tombstone Helldorado Poster

 

Artist:Bill Roman.One of the Annual Helldorado Poster Series

 

This is the 19th in the annual series of Tombstone's Helldorado Days poster by artist Bill Roman.

 

Helldorado Days are held annually the third weekend in October in Tombstone, AZ.

 

As the story goes, many people who came to Tombstone looking for their "El Dorado" ended up pushing a broom or washing dishes, which lead them to declare that they only found their "Helldorado."

 

When the first celebration was held in 1929, on the 50th anniversary of the founding of Tombstone, the term was resurrected, and the celebration was called Helldorado Days. With the exception of a couple of years in WWII, the celebration has been held annually since then.

 

Bill Roman began making the annual Helldorado Posters in 1990, in addition to many other posters depicting events and locations in the Southwest.

 

If you are interested in the original oil paintings of some one these posters, there are still a couple of them left. Contact Donna at the main store for more information at 1-520-678-0381.

 

All Helldorado posters measure 24 inches long by 18 inches wide, (61cm x 48 cm) and are mailed in a cardboard tube to protect your purchase.
