Olympische Winterspiele

Knut Yran (1920–1998). It was created for the VI Olympic Winter Games, which took place in Oslo, Norway, from February 14 to 25, 1952.
Poster Details

Design: The artwork features the Norwegian and Olympic flags fluttering from a pair of upturned ski poles. In the background, you can see the three radio masts at Tryvann, a well-known landmark in Oslo.
Production: The original poster was a 13-color lithograph printed by Pedersens & Co. in Oslo.
Distribution: About 30,000 copies were produced, featuring text in seven different languages. Your specific image shows the German version ("Olympische Winterspiele").
