Rare official poster of the 1932 Winter Olympics, 24.75 x 40.25, featuring a four-man bobsled team as the central artwork, with additional four event images along the left side depicting ski jumping, speed skating, figure skating, and alpine skiing; blue text in gold upper and lower borders, "III Olympics Winter Games," with Olympic rings above, and "Lake Placid, New York, February 4-13, 1932." The poster has been professionally canvas-backed to a slightly larger size. Also included is a set of five official programs for the Lake Placid 1932 Games, with the front cover of the gold-bordered program depicting a bobsled team rounding a turn. The poster is in fine, rolled condition; and the programs are in overall very good to fine condition, with slight wear, a missing upper corner to back cover of one program, and another program featuring several travel agency stamps. As a counterpart to the more popular Lake Placid poster showing the silhouette of a ski jumper against a map of the United States, this official poster remains a highly desirable and seldom-seen keepsake from America's inaugural Olympic Winter Games.
