About the Item
Pair of Greco Roman Tournament Posters of Oskar Schneider & Georg Lurich , Nude
Russia, Pre 1915
The pair of Tsarist Russian Tournament Posters depicting Oskar Schneider and Georg Lurich is an extraordinary find that offers a glimpse into the world of pre-WWI Greco-Roman wrestling in the Russian Empire. These posters, featuring nude depictions of the wrestlers, highlight two prominent figures in the wrestling scene of that era.
Oskar Schneider, a German masked wrestler, is credited with starting the masked wrestler craze in 1909. His popularity soared, and he became a major attraction in the circus circuit. The print showcases Schneider in his masked persona, capturing the excitement and intrigue surrounding masked wrestlers at the time.
Georg Lurich, an Estonian Greco-Roman wrestler and strongman, is also depicted in a separate work Lurich, known for his impressive skills and strength, not only competed but also trained Estonian wrestlers and weightlifters. His contributions to the wrestling world are noteworthy, and the poster serves as a tribute to his achievements.
Both works are housed in their original wood frames with glass fronts, preserving their historical significance. It's important to note that there is foxing present, indicating the age and natural deterioration of the paper. As they have not been examined outside of the frames, further assessment of their condition is needed.
During the pre-WWI years, Greco-Roman wrestling tournaments were highly popular in the Russian Empire, and various gimmicks added to the excitement. Masked wrestlers and giants, such as Schneider and Lurich, captivated audiences and contributed to the vibrant wrestling scene of that time.
Overall, these Tsarist Russian Tournament provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of pre-WWI wrestling, showcasing the allure of masked wrestlers and the strength of renowned athletes like Georg Lurich. They are not only historical artifacts but also pieces of sports and cultural history, representing a unique era in Russian wrestling.
