The modern Olympic Games are the "Greatest Sporting Event on Earth."
No official poster was made for the 1896 Olympic Games, but the cover page of the official report is often used to refer to the Games of the I Olympiad.
From 1896 to 2012, different cities have hosted the Summer Olympiads (three were missed due to war). Each host city has created its own unique promotional poster.
Olympic posters are considered one of the major vehicles to spread information on the Olympic movement and convey the Olympic spirit. The Olympic posters are a visual representation of the Olympic ideas and the host country's culture and spirit.
