Scarce original color 41 x 60 poster for the "Championnat International de Gymnastique [International Gymnastics Championship]" held as part of the Paris 1900 Olympics, held as part of the Exposition Universelle de 1900. Folded and in very good to fine condition, with small holes at intersections, and some unobtrusive creasing and small tears to edges.
As indicated on the large, impressive poster, the gymnastics competition of the 1900 Games was held at the Vélodrome de Vincennes on July 29 and 30, 1900, with over 135 competitors from eight nations participating. The top 18 places were taken by French gymnasts, with Gustave Sandras finishing first in the combined all-around event. An exceptional Olympic piece as well as a superb example of French fin de siècle poster art.
