The Olympics have a long history behind them. Started almost 2000 years back in ancient Greece, the Olympic Games have come a long way since then. The games were a four yearly event that were a highlight of Greek sport culture until they were stopped by Theodosius around 400 AD.
The modern Olympic Games started when Pierre de Coubertin of France campaigned for them to be brought back. In 1892, he set up the International Olympic Committee. The rest, as they say, is history.
The various Olympic Games have been commemorated through posters, right from the very first modern Olympic games. You don’t have to be a millionaire to buy a vintage poster of the Games. A vintage poster online depicting the 1914 Youth Games, for example, sells for under $100. If you like, you can have the poster framed before it is shipped to you. Framing costs extra depending on quality and size. There are online stores that will throw in a frame at no extra charge.
Great Bargains Online!
Landing deals online is easy. Many art galleries and vintage poster dealers run their vintage poster gallery solely on a virtual space. So you actually have more choices online than at regular art galleries. Vintage posters can be bought by anyone, not just the serious art collector or art student. If you want to decorate your home, or you love sports, need something to pep up the school or community gym, invest in an Olympic vintage poster. If you plan to commemorate the coming 2012 London Games, find a vintage poster to help you advertise your interest.
Your vintage poster is an investment that can only appreciate in value as it gets older. So make sure you choose a good quality poster with proper conservation and framing to ensure a long life for the poster. Don’t buy posters with torn corners and soiled edges – even a little imperfection will decrease poster’s value. So log into your account with poster dealers – there are many bargains waiting for you out there.
