L’Hippodrome – Grand Championnat du Monde des Luttes Libres, Georges Redon (c. 1890s)
A powerful late 19th-century French poster by Georges Redon for the Grand Championnat du Monde des Luttes Libres at L’Hippodrome. Two wrestlers are locked mid-throw, rendered with sweeping, energetic linework against a bold red ground, creating a sense of immediacy and physical force.
Redon’s design exemplifies the dramatic, illustrative style of early Belle Époque posters, where movement and spectacle dominate the composition. Wrestling subjects from this period are notably scarce, and this example stands out for both its visual intensity and strong graphic presence.
Original French wrestling poster for L’Hippodrome’s Grand Championnat du Monde des Luttes Libres, designed by Georges Redon. Features a dynamic depiction of two wrestlers in motion, set against a striking red background.
Antique sports posters from the 1890s are increasingly sought after, particularly those combining bold composition with recognized artists. Works by Georges Redon hold a distinct place within early French poster design and performance advertising.
