About the Item

Mary Kenyan Olympic Games, May 1st 1924, Wembley Gouache 46 x 30 cm Signed and dated to the reverse. This gouache poster, with its soft pastel tones and elegant art deco style, features a javelin thrower poised mid-action, evoking the power and grace of Olympic sport. The bold lettering announces the "Olympic Games" at Wembley on May 1st, 1924—despite the fact that the official 1924 Summer Olympics were held in Paris. This likely refers to a British Olympic trials or exhibition event at Wembley Stadium, which had opened just a year earlier. This piece is framed in a beautiful Gluck frame, emphasising its art deco style and rendering this a distinctive work of art in any room.
