Lithographed broadside or poster on thin paper. Measuring 25" x 34½". Slightly wrinkled horizontal fold, old small tape repairs on the verso, slight stain in upper left corner mostly confined to the margins, a very good example. Image of two women in form-fitting wrestling costumes locked in a grappling embrace. The history of woman wrestling is about as old as history itself, although its popularity has ebbed and flowed in modern times. A craze for female boxing and wrestling was revived in the late 19th and first decade or two of the 20th Century. We could find little on the artist or publisher. *OCLC* locates no copies; nor were there any copies at auction that we could find. A striking image of women pictured in a non-traditional role near the turn of the century, and considering the fragility of the thin paper on which it is printed, a remarkable survivor.
