Olympic Games/ Winter, Summer, 1936/ Garmisch-Berlin - Lot 211

Olympic Games/ Winter, Summer, 1936/ Garmisch-Berlin The complete 15-issue series of "The Official Organ of the Propaganda Committee for the XI Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936, and for the Winter Games in Garmisch-Partentkirchen." From issue 1 (Berlin, June 1935) to 15 (the winning athlete in Würbel), we witness the build-up to the Games through well-illustrated articles in French, with retrospectives at the outset, then relations proper. The covers alone are worth the detour, signed by Würbel, Preen, Holwein or Bibernele. Skiers, torches, bells, ancient athletes, the Brandenburg Gate, crowned athletes - all the facets of the Games pass lightly by. In a sturdy binding. 34.5 x 24.5 cm Very good condition
