Vive le France! This original poster for the 1924 Summer Olympic Games in Paris (the VIII Olympiad) features shirtless young male athletes with the French flag serving as a backdrop. Mounted on linen and measuring 49" x 33", it is immaculate after a few undetectable restorations, which were expertly done. There are no pieces missing, just tears and touch-ups. The famous poster was the brainchild of artist, painter, illustrator, writer, publicist, scout and teacher Jean Droit. This has been de-acquistioned by the Helms Museum in Los Angeles. With a rich Olympic tradition, Helms was funded by the 1932 Olympic Games and again in the 1984 version.
