Card of the Day - 2022-02-03

We move on now to the 1948 Games, the first after the War, and where Alpine skiing is considered to have made its Olympic debut, even though there was actually skiing at the 1936 Olympics. The event saw Henri Oreiller of France winning one of each medals, gold, silver and bronze, making him the only three time winner at those games. 
Two variants are available, the card stock that it is printed on is either white or cream.  This set was also issued by Nicolas Sarony as "Saronicks" (S111-580) in the same month, June 1929 and that also has two variants, but in this case it is the dimensions of the card, as it can be found in the standard or medium sizes
