The Scandalous Characters from The Olympic Games of Yesteryear
The Scandalous Characters from the Olympic Games of Yesteryear are twelve ‘fictitious’ characters from past Games in other places in the world. They were photographically enlarged to fill the walls of Doncaster’s Party Room. Each is individually captioned, each situation more absurd than the rest, but seemingly for real.
Peter Von enhanced the silly old engravings with drawings, leaving the best fun for the printed captions, absolutely his forte, because of his newspaper background and knowledge of language of the past. The complete set fitted the Party Room walls perfectly, apparently so successful during the actual games that it was decided to leave them up.
