The Central Artwork Features Two Speed Skaters In Full Stride, Wearing Traditional Winter Attire, Capturing The Spirit Of Competition And Nordic Athleticism. The Stylized Illustration, Rendered In Red, White, And Pale Green Tones, Is Framed In A Bold Red Border With Elegant Art Nouveau Typography. The Event's Title Is Displayed Prominently At The Bottom In Multiple Languages: "Nordische Spiele," "Northern Games," And "Jeux Du Nord," Reflecting Its International Significance. The Artist's Initials "KB" Appear In The Lower Right Corner Of The Illustration, Denoting Authorship. This Poster Stamp Is A Striking Example Of Early 20th Century Sports Ephemera, Celebrating Nordic Excellence In Winter Athletics. It Is In Excellent Condition With No Noticeable Imperfections. Visible Text (Rewritten In Sentence Form): Nordiska Spelen 1913. Stockholm 7-16 Febr. Nordische Spiele. Northern Games. Jeux Du Nord. Country Of Origin: Sweden. Organized By Sweden’s Swedish Central Association For The Promotion Of Athletics,And More Specifically By Viktor Balck, A Member Of That Association And One Of The Five Original Members Of The International Olympic Committee. It Was, In Many Ways, A Precursor To The Modern Winter Olympic Games, Whose Success Was A Contributing Factor (Along With The Social And Economic Turmoil Following World War I) To The Nordic Games's Discontinuation In The 1920s.
