Paris 1900 Games of the II Olympiad


During the 1900 Universal Exhibition, certain events of international physical exercise and sports competitions were recognized as Olympic and made up the program of the second modern Olympic Games. Several posters were created-athletics, rowing, cycling, fencing and gymnastics.

Athens 1896 Games of the I Olympiad



No official emblem was made for the 1896 Olympic Games, but the cover page of the official report is often used to refer to the Olympiad. The inscription "776-1896", like the drawing as a whole: the Olympic stadium in a newly designed horseshoe shape, the Acropolis, the girl personifying the goddess Athena and presenting the crown of wild olive intended for the victor, mark the bond between the Games of Antiquity and the first Games of the modern era.
