Description

Handsome bilingual report in Swedish and English: The Equestrian Games of the XVIth Olympiad. Limited edition, numbered 7/200. Stockholm: Esselte Aktiebolag, 1959. Hardcover bound in full brown morocco with gilt-stamped titles and emblem, 8.5 x 12, 270 pages. Book condition: VG+/None, with light scuffing to the covers.

Due to Australian agricultural quarantine regulations, the equestrian events of the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne were held five months earlier in Stockholm, Sweden, making the 1956 Summer Games the second Olympics not to be held entirely in one country: the 1920 Olympics, which Antwerp, Belgium co-hosted with Amsterdam and Ostend, were the first.
