EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating poster from 1900 showcases the excitement and intensity of wrestling competitions in a Swiss village. Created by Georges Redon, a renowned French artist, this colour lithograph captures the essence of the event with its bold colors and dynamic composition. The central focus of the image is a strong man, his muscular physique accentuated by his boxer shorts, which are obligatory for the competition. He exudes confidence and determination as he prepares to take on challengers in this thrilling display of strength and skill. Surrounded by picturesque Swiss scenery, including snow-capped mountains and quaint village houses, this poster invites viewers to imagine themselves in attendance at this lively event. The text "Criterium de la lutte au calecon" adds an air of authenticity to the scene while also hinting at the competitive nature of these wrestling matches. With its eye-catching design and evocative imagery, this print serves as both an advertisement for wrestling competitions in Switzerland during that era and a testament to Redon's artistic talent. It transports us back in time to experience firsthand the energy and excitement that permeated these events. Now part of a private collection but available through Bridgeman Images, this historic artwork continues to captivate audiences with its timeless appeal.
