This is the poster from the establishment’s reopening in 1893, when it was renamed Olympia, a name which stays with it even today. This is the larger format.Price: $3600(starting bid + 20% buyer’s premium)Want this item?Place an online bid, or CALL US NOW for this special price212-787-4000Until March 3 only!
