This exceptional original vintage poster promotes the athletic events that followed the 1936 Berlin Olympics, taking place at Stockholm Stadium.
Designed by Lundquist, this poster features a track and field runner adorned with the iconic Olympic rings on his shirt, captured in the midst of crossing the finish line against a vibrant green backdrop.
The event brought together an impressive gathering of talent, with J. Owens leading the American contingent, alongside athletes from England, South America, and Europe. The 'After Olympiad,' scheduled for August 19-21 at the Stadium, promised spirited competition amongst these top-tier athletes.
With its enduringly fresh and vivid colors, this poster remains in remarkable condition despite more than 80 years in storage. Notably, it has never been displayed or hung.
