Wrestling/World Championship/Folies-Bergère/Mich. Superb ori - Lot 235
Wrestling/World Championship/Folies-Bergère/Mich. Superb original poster full of movement and color for "Les Sports organisent le championnat du monde de lutte, le 25 octobre et les jours suivants aux Folies-Bergère..." This dynamic 1906 creation is a testament to the consistency at the top of his craft of the great Mich (aka Michel Liebeaux, 1881-1923), and the struggle between "L'Auto" and "Les Sports" in capturing the sports readership through a serial event. The red and black colors add to the false drama of these tournaments where the cheating often prevailed. These world championships organized at the same time (!!!) as those of the Casino of Paris are attractive because they mobilize more than 100 kg. Zbysko became the world champion of the Casino, and Padoubny (120kg) the one of the Folies-Bergère after 40 evenings, some of which bordered on riots because of irregularities. The printing house is at the headquarters of the josurnal...20 rue St Marc. Lithography 81,5x58,5. BE
