Default Olympic poster

Neat poster! According to Wikipedia, both the 1896 and 1906 Olympics were held in April; thus, the June-July dates on the poster almost certainly mean it's from either 1895 or 1905. The gentlemen dressed in suits with bowties and straw hats in the background, and the post Spanish-American war military uniforms, to me suggest a 1905 poster for the 1906 Games the following April.
