Product description
Catch Original French Wrestling Poster– C. 1960 – 56.00 × 37.50 Cm – Original Silkscreen
(A typographic mid-century wrestling broadside featuring the iconic Martini branding)
---
🎬 The Piece
This typographic composition utilizes a stark cream background to highlight a hierarchy of bold, sans-serif fonts in black and red. The layout is strictly informational, segmented by horizontal rules to detail the "Championnat d'Europe" and various wrestling matches, including "La Tete de Fer" and "Quasimodo." The design is anchored by the geometric Martini logo at the base, featuring its signature red circle and black rectangular overlay.
✨ Why It Matters
* Captures the golden era of French professional wrestling ("Catch") at the Cirque Municipal d'Amiens.
* Features the "NF" (Nouveau Franc) currency designation, dating the piece to the early 1960s transition period.
* Demonstrates the prevalence of corporate sponsorship in mid-century local entertainment.
