Rare 'official' report in French for the Antwerp 1920 Summer Olympics, first compiled in 1957 by Alfred Verdyck and reprinted in 1964. Entitled "Rapport Officiel des Jeux de la VIIeme Olympiade, Anvers, 1920," bound with a metal clip in cardstock wrappers, 8.5 x 11, 178 pages, published in 1964. In very good to fine condition, with extensive wear to cover; interior pages remain clean and unaffected. As the Antwerp Organizing Committee went bankrupt, no official report of the Games was contemporaneously produced. In 1957, the Belgian Olympic Committee compiled this report from archived records of the 1920 Olympic Games. Though generally recognized as the official Antwerp report, this volume is at times inaccurate or erroneous due to the circumstances of its production. A rare and interesting piece associated with these 'forgotten' Games.
