A Linenbacked Swedish Special Poster (measures 24 1/2" x 39 1/4" [62 x 100 cm]) (Learn More)

The 1956 Summer Olympics (officially known as the Games of the XVI Olympiad and commonly known as Melbourne 1956) were a 1956 international multi-sport event held in Melbourne, Australia from November 22nd to December 8th. However, due to Australia's strict quarantine regulations, the equestrian events were held in Stockholm, Sweden from June 10th to June 17th. Because of the Southern Hemisphere's seasons being different from those in the Northern Hemisphere, these Summer games were the first to be held in November and December.
Artist: John Sjosvard
Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Swedish poster!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had tiny paper loss near the center, with some diagonal creases in the bottom of the poster entering the rings. It had a few tiny tears around the edges and a few smudges and scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
