The Philately of the 1920 Antwerp Olympics

The 1920 Antwerp Olympics are a story of war, nationalism and panicked preparation. They are also the story of the first large scale attempt to use postage stamps and cancels to advertise an Olympic Games. Join Gregg Redner as he leads us through this fascinating and little explored area of Olympic philately.
