Olympic Games/ Summer, 1900/ Paris. "Le Sport Universel Illu - Lot 3

Olympic Games/ Summer, 1900/ Paris. "Le Sport Universel Illustré" (36x27), complete year 1900 (superb binding, blue spine, gold lettering, without dust jackets), ideal for reliving, in detail and with previously unpublished photos and committed articles, the Physical Exercises and Sports Competitions of the Exposition Universelle, and therefore of the Olympic Games. From issues 181 to 232, from January 6 to December 29, in 832 pages, you'll find the best of the vintage in over 20 articles by top specialists Frantz-Reichel, svp, R.Raoult, L.Darsay, Emile André, G.Voulquin, J.Cipierre. Shooting, archery, soccer or rugby, fencing, wrestling, rowing, tennis, swimming, sailing, aerostation, pelote basque, or athletics (prodigious leap, Americans, discus, etc.), you have unpublished information and quality photos; Frantz-Reichel dominates this set. The great competitor of "La Vie au Grand Air" is almost an equal here. As it also covers hunting, venery and horse-riding, the "SUI", with its broader palette, will last longer than the "VGA", in fact from 1895 to 1943. The NL offers only two issues from this crucial year.
