This striking vintage poster promotes a "Super-Gala de Catch" (wrestling gala) held at the Cirque Municipal in Amiens, France, on March 22, 1960. Printed on vibrant pink paper, the design utilizes bold, black block typography to announce the match card, headlined by "Jack De Lasartesse," billed as the great star of American television. A photographic portrait of Lasartesse in a ceremonial cape anchors the composition, creating a classic piece of mid-century sporting ephemera.

Why It Matters
- A vivid artifact from the golden era of European professional wrestling, known locally as "Catch."
- Features the dramatic persona of Jack De Lasartesse, highlighting the theatrical nature of the sport in the 1960s.
- Preserves the vernacular typographic style and promotional language typical of regional French event posters.
