This vintage poster advertises a "Super-Gala de Catch" held at the Cirque Municipal in Amiens, France, on March 7, 1961. Printed on vibrant pink paper, the design features bold, vernacular typography listing the evening's matches, headlined by the legendary "L'Ange Blanc" versus "Jack De Lasartesse". A black and white photographic portrait of the wrestler Ray Golden Apollon anchors the composition, capturing the raw energy of mid-century French wrestling promotion.

Why It Matters
- Represents the cultural phenomenon of "Catch" (professional wrestling) during its golden age in 1960s France.
- Features "L'Ange Blanc" (The White Angel), a masked wrestler who became a major pop culture icon of the era.
- An authentic example of letterpress-style broadside advertising with striking typographic impact.
