Triumph – “Undies to be Caught In”
Original Laminated Advertising Display – c.1970s
A wonderfully theatrical piece of vintage advertising that perfectly captures the wit, glamour and visual confidence of 1970s commercial photography.
Created for Triumph International, this striking promotional display features a dramatic rescue scene in which a young woman, dressed in vibrant pink Triumph lingerie, is suspended above a fire brigade rescue sheet as firefighters race to catch her. The playful headline, “Undies to be caught in,” is a clever piece of period advertising copy, combining humour with the bold visual storytelling that defined the era.
The composition is unmistakably cinematic. Rich reds, dramatic lighting and expressive faces create an image that is equal parts fashion photograph and film still, demonstrating the imaginative concepts that made 1970s advertising so memorable.
This is an original period laminated advertising display, produced for promotional use rather than as a later reproduction. The laminated finish has preserved the vibrant colours beautifully while lending the piece an authentic period character.
An ideal acquisition for collectors of vintage advertising, graphic design, fashion history, lingerie memorabilia or twentieth-century commercial photography.
