Victory in Flight - J.J. Eller Wins the 120 Yard Hurdle
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken on September 16, 1911, American track and field athlete John Jacob "Jack" Eller Jr. soars over the hurdles at Celtic Park in Queens, New York City. With his agile physique and determined expression, Eller embodies the essence of athletic prowess as he clears each hurdle with ease.
The Bain News Service captured this momentous occasion when Eller won the 120 yard hurdle race, a testament to his exceptional speed and jumping ability. The photograph's dynamic composition draws attention to Eller's mid-air pose, suspended in time as if defying gravity itself. This iconic image not only celebrates Eller's athletic achievement but also serves as a powerful metaphor for perseverance and triumph.
As part of the Heritage Images collection, this vintage print is a rare glimpse into the world of early 20th-century sports photography. The photograph has been carefully preserved in its original state, allowing us to relive this momentous occasion from over a century ago.
