Description

These books were originally devoid of photos but were filled with images by smokers who accumulated high-quality photos as they purchased cigarettes. Both volumes are complete, and incredibly Jesse Owens and other racial "inferiors" are fairly represented (though caricatured at the bottom of the page). Hitler is given the first page - a full-page illustration - and German athletes are most prominently depicted. Volume I also includes a fold-out map of the Olympic village. Edges of the spine of Volume II is worn, else near fine condition.
