Lake Placid Travel Poster (23.5" x 36")
Fine- on Linen
Flexible Flyer Skies, 1932

Flexible Flyer skis were originally crafted in Oslo, Norway using the finest materials and craftsmanship in the world. They incorporated multiple laminates and utilized up to 13 pieces of material in the production of these handcrafted skis.

In this rare sports image celebrating the 1932 Winter Olympics, a skier races down a mountain, leaving a trail of snowy mist in their wake. Prior to linen-backing, the lower left corner area had separated from the poster and was re-attached. Expert restoration to this corner area addressed small tears (which are still visible) as well as in the "E" in "Lake". There is touch-up to the bottom title box and the majority of the blue background has been airbrushed. This poster now presents beautifully and the winter scene evokes a sense of playfulness and adventure.
