A popular Swedish account of the ancient Olympic Games, written by Harald Brising and published in Stockholm by A. Bonnier in 1912 to accompany the fifth Olympiad held in that city. The pictures are halftone reproductions of Greek art showing athletes and processions. A designer could draw on their strict silhouette friezes and the flat, rhythmic repetition of figures in procession.
