The story

The front page of Crítica, the Buenos Aires daily, on 6 June 1928, issue 5344. It gives itself over to a detailed chronicle of the Olympic semi-final in Amsterdam, Argentina six, Egypt nothing. A match played on the other side of the ocean arrived in Buenos Aires as type and pictures across the whole page, and a city read it as its own. Argentina went on to the final and lost to Uruguay, in the last Olympic tournament before the World Cup. The house holds the Montevideo bill for the first World Cup two years later; this page is where Argentina’s side of that story begins.

Printed to order on museum-grade cotton-rag stock with pigment inks — the pairing is rated 100+ years.
Colour-managed to the source; the tone of the paper and the ink is the period’s, not ours.
Ships in 5–10 business days, rolled in a heavy-wall tube (framed editions ship flat-packed).
If it arrives less than perfect, we reprint or refund — your choice.

Why our pieces cost more than a poster: a poster is a mass run on wood-pulp stock, colour-corrected to whatever flattered the press that day. This is one sheet, pulled for you, at a size where the maker’s hand is visible — the linework, the halftone grain, the lettering — on materials made to outlast their owner.
