Olympic Games/ Summer, 1948/ London/ Cinema/ Cycling. Astonishing photographic set (silver print) of 10 documents on these renaissance Games:a) three captioned photos (13x18) of the cycling events and tricolore exploits, the finish of the great Jacques Dupont in the 1000m, Beyaert crossing the finish line greeted by the Olympic flag, the tricolore Olympic pursuit team, who would go on to become champions; b) seven photos (20.5x26) of the shooting of the official film "la gloire du sport", with horse riding, water polo, the road race, Fanny's arrival, and the technical team at work. Amazing and rare.
