The text reads: “Germany, Berlin 1936, 1st–16th August, Olympic Games,” with smaller text reading, “Information and handbooks from all tourist and travel agencies.” Impressively matted and framed to an overall size of 35.5 x 51.5. In very good condition, with some foxing and restoration (most significantly to the top edge). Sponsored by German railways, these posters were published in nineteen different languages. Oversized.
