Artefacts
Grenoble 1968, panel illustrating the adventures of Shuss, the Games mascot.
Physical description
Pencil, gouache and watercolour on card showing Shuss in the mountains, carrying the Olympic torch. The text pasted on the tracing paper reads "Suddenly, in the silence, the great fir tree with the snowy beard shakes its high branches. - Here he comes again! he announces in his big hoarse voice. And the invisible echo repeats: back, back... Leaping down the slopes, Shuss descends at breakneck speed. In his wake, the snow rises in whirlwinds, and at the front of his ski shines the little flame he took from the storm on the summits. "
