The Piece
This original vintage poster announces a "Super-Gala de Catch" (wrestling gala) held at the Cirque Municipal in Amiens, France, on March 7, 1961. The composition features a striking layout with bold, blocky typography in black and red against a vibrant yellow background, typical of mid-century vernacular street advertising. The visual hierarchy highlights the main event featuring the legendary "L'Ange Blanc" alongside a photographic portrait of the wrestler Ray Golden Apollon.
