In The Spotlight: Posters from the Moscow Olympics 1980
NEW! Visit our website at www.AntikBar.co.uk to view all our original vintage posters from around the world, including posters for various Summer and Winter Olympic Games + our latest additions for the Moscow Olympics.
Held from 19 July to 3 August, the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games were the first to be hosted in an Eastern European country and the first held in a (then) Communist country.
Officially the Games of the XXII Olympiad and known as Москва 1980 / Moscow 1980, the highest number of events were held at this Summer Olympics than previously and more new Olympic records were set than in previous events.
Out of the 203 events in 27 sport disciplines, the Soviet Union came in first place with 80 gold medals (total: 195 medals), followed by East Germany (GDR) with 47 gold medals (total: 126 medals), and Bulgaria in third place with 8 gold medals (total: 41 medals). Only 80 nations participated, mostly due to the US-led boycott relating to the Soviet-Afghan War, with some athletes participating under the Olympic Flag and their National Olympic Committee flags.
Below are a few posters from our current stock over 50 original vintage posters from the Moscow Olympics 1980, including some featuring individual sports and the newly built stadiums, and posters for the film on the opening and closing ceremonies (click on the image links for more information). Many also feature the Спорт Мир Дружба / Sport Peace Friendship theme and the popular smiling bear — Миша / Misha the Moscow Olympic Games mascot — designed by the children’s book illustrator Victor Chizhikov (1935-2020).
Visit our website to browse all our original vintage posters from around the world, including more Olympic and other sport posters as well as an extensive variety of travel, propaganda, war, advertising and movie posters — all available to view and order online with worldwide delivery and at our gallery:

In The News: Spring Into Summer With Vintage Posters!
We’re delighted to have been featured this month in the following variety of articles on original vintage travel posters, art exhibition posters, posters for button collectors and graphic design posters:
Financial Times – How To Spend It
“Vintage travel posters are going places: A golden era of exploration, relaxation and adventure has taken on new lustre…
From the seduction of a poster emblazoned with ‘Egypt, the land of mystery and romance’ to the mighty promise that ‘The most beautiful women in the world summer in Monte Carlo’, the allure of vintage travel posters is still palpable. And with a heightened nostalgia for the golden age of travel, these windows onto a bygone era capture the joy of exploration and adventure even more intensely…” (Weekend edition, 22-23 May)

“Graphic Design Posters Stick em’ up! – Good graphic design can transform advertising into an art form… The pleasing shapes in these posters, their tight typography and eye-catching colours, come together to raise awareness…they can simultaneously cause us to raise an eyebrow, crack a smile or start making plans… They look great too. Put them on your walls. Here’s our paean to the alchemy of advertising done well...” (May 2021)

World Health Day 2021
April 7th is World Health Day, so we are sharing some of our favourite health related books, magazines and ephemera from the AntikBar Books website – there’s everything from health resort brochures to guides on children’s hygiene! Click on the links in the captions to see more.
Health Resorts and Sanatoria
The first sanatorium is thought to have opened in the 1830s to treat tuberculosis. By the early 20th century, doctors routinely prescribed a stay in a health resort or sanatorium to combat a variety of illnesses. Often located in the mountains or by thermal springs, sanatoria offered city-dwellers a chance to enjoy clean air, balanced diets, and long walks. These magazines and brochures focus on health resorts and sanatoria in Europe and the USSR.
French language edition of USSR in Construction #7 1949. The issue is dedicated to public health in the Soviet Union and watersports and contains articles about the growing Soviet population and factory hospitals.
English language edition of issue USSR in Construction #1 1936. The issue concentrates on health resorts in the Soviet Union and contains an illustrated map of the resorts, with statistics on patient numbers and photographs.
Travel brochure for Strobl am Wolfgangsee (1950s) health resort and beach on Lake Wolfgang (Wolfgangsee) in Salzkammergut Austria.
Public Health and Hygiene
These books provide some interesting advice and information on maintaining public health and hygiene.
Sport and Exercise
Dating from the 1920s and 30s, these Soviet books and magazines demonstrate the importance of sport and physical exercise in the USSR. They feature great examples of constructivist photography and illustrate the variety of sports practised.
Sport in the USSR (1939) – Written by A Starostin, captain of the Spartacus football team, the essay discusses sport in the Soviet Union and is accompanied by photographs from stadiums, sport championships, and physical culture schools in different parts of the country.
Physical Culture and Sports (1928) was a weekly Soviet and Russian illustrated magazine containing sports news and articles on theoretical and methodological issues of various sports. This issue’s articles include How to Learn to Row Correctly on the Simple Boat, Tennis Ball Prediction, and Amsterdam Olympics.
The french language edition of USSR in Construction #7-8 1934 concentrates on physical education. Photos show a morning gymnastics session on an office building’s roof, workers doing exercises in a factory, a school PE lesson, Dynamo stadium in Moscow, and people training for football, diving, rowing, running, handball, basketball, volleyball, ice hockey and more.
