Olympic Games/ summer, 1912/ Stockholm/ Coubertin/ Pommery/ Mumm/ Château Lafitte. Two original programs (23x13.7) with the same striking cover of the god Thor with his sacred hammer in his chariot pulled by the two goats Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjöstr for the Royal dinner on July 7, 1912: a) the list of foreign and Swedish guests, with table plan....Four speeches will be given, Colonel Balck, for the King of Sweden, will open the fire, and Baron de Coubertin, will close it on behalf of the Swedish Olympic Committee. Surrounding Baron de Coubertin (place d'honneur 199) are all the world's personalities, as well as a few Frenchmen, such as Comte d'Arnaud, Paul Champ, de Courcel, Maurice Dezaure, Glandaz, Robert Guérin and Charles Isambert; b) Under the same cover (fold at top, and small tear at bottom of center fold): the detailed menu for the July 7, 1912 dinner....Music: Strauss, Camille Saint-Saëns's "La danse de la Gipsy", and Rossini's "Barber of Seville" overture. On the menu, the real tortoise claire will be cutting a path in pirogues for a platoon of sole, a squadron of veal à l'écarlate, and a squadron of carmen ducklings....The wines will really be pushing themselves: Pommery et Greno, sec; G.H.Mumm Cordon Rouge, and Château Lafitte grand vin 1893. Extremely rare.
