Description

Official poster of the 1932 Winter Olympics, 25 x 40, featuring a four-man bobsled team as the central artwork, with an 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." Rolled and in fine condition, with some slight edgewear, including a short tear to the bottom edge, which also bears a couple creases; much of which could be matted out if so desired. 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.
