Because there were no official posters for the modern Olympics until the 5th games in Stockholm (1912), all related materials for the first four events become particularly valuable to the collector. Here, the poster for the April 1896 issue of Scribner’s shows the magazine tying into the first modern Olympiad–taking place that month in Athens–with “The Olympic Games and their Revival” as its cover story. The highly decorated pedestal and elaborately curling smoke from the Olympic flame are characteristic of the children’s fantasy tales that were the main work of this New York author-illustrator.
<b>Est: $1,400-$1,700.</b>
