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.
