La Puerto Rico Café mascot
Photograph by C. Valdez, 2004
 

Advertising mascot for La Puerto Rico Café in Buenos Aires, one of the city’s oldest and most revered cafés which opened in 1887 and recognised as a ‘Bar Notable’ close to Plaza de Mayo in the Montserrat district. Over its long history it welcomed generations of patrons and figures from Argentine culture, and its walls reflect decades of life in the centre of the city.
