Description
The 1928 Summer Olympics were held in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The Amsterdam Games were notable for being the first Olympics to be broadcast on radio and for their emphasis on the Olympic ideals of amateurism and fair play. The Games featured 46 nations and 14 sports, with standout performances including the remarkable achievements of Dutch swimmer Gertrude Ederle and the dominance of American athletes in track and field. The 1928 Amsterdam Olympics were also significant for being the first to allow female athletes to compete in the Games, marking an important step towards greater inclusivity in the Olympic movement.The Westerkerk, a prominent 17th-century Protestant church in Amsterdam, is celebrated for its striking Renaissance architecture and its towering spire, which offers panoramic views of the city. Notable for its rich historical significance and serene interior, the church also houses the tomb of the famous Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn. It is interesting to note that Anne Frank was born a year later in Amsterdam, and hid in an annex one block away from the Westerkerk just 14 years after this poster was made.Joseph Johannes Rovers (1893-1975), also known as Jos Rovers, was a Dutch artist. Renowned for his work in painting, drawing, and printmaking, Rovers was a prominent figure in the early 20th-century Dutch art scene. His innovative approach and exploration of various artistic styles left a lasting impact on contemporary art.This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction.
