Scarce original color 24.25 x 33.25 Dutch-language poster issued for the Antwerp 1920 Olympics. Designed by Martha van Kuyck and Walter von der Ven, this Art Nouveau poster celebrates the games with the flags of the competing nations, the coat of arms of Antwerp, and a classical Greek nude discus thrower, all set atop an overhead view of the city and its most famous landmark, the Tower of Notre Dame. Bold text reads: “VIIe Olympiade, Antwerpen (Belgie), August-September 1920.” Lithographed by Van Dieren & Co. of Antwerp. Rolled and in good to very good condition, with intersecting folds (most reinforced with tape on the reverse), scattered creasing and staining, several tape-repaired edge tears, and some surface scuffing and soiling.
