Great Moments of Olympic History 1896-1996 Poster - Fine Art Ltd.

An incredible piece for those interested in the Olympic movement and sporting history! Published by St. Louis-based Fine Art Ltd. during the Atlanta Olympic year of 1996, this poster features classic black-and-white photos of twelve great Olympic champions. The photographs are incredible, and look fantastic superimposed over an olive-toned Roman-style background. Below each photo, every athlete is identified by name, years competed, and gold medals won. All of the photos are great, but three in particular stand out - Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali), Mark Spitz, and Jesse Owens. Top Row: Paavo Nurmi, Johnny Weissmuller, Babe Didrickson, Muhammad Ali, Jim Thorpe Middle Row: Al Oerter, Greg Louganis, Jesse Owens, Wilma Rudolph Bottom Row: Nadia Comaneci, Mark Spitz, Bob Beamon.
