Description

Official Dutch-language participation diploma issued to a Hungarian attache at the Amsterdam 1928 Summer Olympics, 21.5 x 29.25, which boasts the same design as the winner's diplomas. Printed by Senefelder and designed by Christiaan Johannes van der Hoef, this beautiful lithograph-style diploma features a unique black-and-gold Art Deco theme, with a kneeling Nike goddess of victory over Olympic rings and bold text: “IXe Olympiade Amsterdam 1928, P. Geng, Attache Voor Hongarije [Hungary].” Below, the diploma features facsimile signatures of NOC president Baron Schimmelpenninck and IOC president Henri de Baillet-Latour. In very good to fine condition, with overall toning, heaviest to borders, and some edgewear.
