Sport meets the beat era on a single card!

The drawn instruction shows the hip throw (Hüftwurf, heupworp, lancement de hanche, hip throw) described in German, Dutch, French and English. A period piece from the late 1960s, shortly after judo’s Olympic debut in Tokyo 1964. Signs of age: crease at the lower left of the front, small spots.
