This 34x49" wrestling poster reads, "Casino Campeonato De Lucha". Translated from Spanish, it reads, "Casino Championship Fight". It took place in 1914, and featured wrestlers from all over the world, including: Schulz, Pospisil, Pampuri, Zbyszko, Aberg, Isando, Kormendy, Umberto, Mamutow, Zilin, Pierard "El Coloso", Jirsa, Lurich, Saifulin, Kara Ali, Tom Jackson, and Li-Hung-Chang. The poster says, at the bottom, "J. Weiss & Preusche - Patricios 241". There are a couple of small pieces missing from the middle from folds, but the linen mounting has helped to preserve it beautifully.
