Description

Unsigned book: V. Olympiaden, Olympiska spelen i Stockholm 1912 i bild och ord [The 1912 Olympic Games at Stockholm in Pictures and Words]. First edition, limited issue, numbered 1919/2500. Stockholm: Centraltryckeriet, 1912. Hardcover bound in full red leather with edges fully gilt, 13.5 x 10.5, 526 pages. With text in Swedish, English, German, and French, this well-illustrated deluxe volume chronicles the 1912 Games. Coverage includes the pentathlon and the newly created decathlon, both events won by Jim Thorpe. In very good condition, with rubbing to spine and edges, wear to corners, and a couple small edge tears to pages; curiously, this appears to be a mis-bound copy, as a section of the book (pp. 265–272) is duplicated and bound in between pages 343 and 347 (with pp. 344–346 missing).
