KRAUS AND DZUBAS X1 OLYMPIAD BERLIN. 1936. 391/2x25 inches. Reichsbahnzentrale fur den Deutschen Reiseverkehr. Condition B+: repaired tears, restoration and minor overpainting in margins. A photographic poster of the statue of the Quadriga, the four-horse chariot of victory atop Berlin's Brandenburg Gate. Curiously, an important element of the statue seems to have been removed from the photograph, which is the Iron Cross within the laurel wreath. Although this is considered a preliminary poster for the 1936 Olympic Games, it was (like the final version by Franz Wurbel) issued in several different languages. This is the English version. Olympic p. 47.
