The Finish of the Marathon Race, the Olympic Games, 1908 - A Historic Moment Captured in Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this lithograph print from 1908, we witness a defining moment in sporting history - the dramatic finish of the marathon race at the Olympic Games. The image transports us back to London's White City Stadium, where spectators eagerly gather to witness this thrilling event. The atmosphere is electric as an exhausted Italian runner named Dorando Pietri approaches the finish line. His body shows signs of extreme fatigue and confusion after enduring a grueling 26-mile run. As he collapses just meters away from victory, officials rush to his aid while concerned spectators look on with bated breath. This iconic snapshot encapsulates both triumph and tragedy within its frame. It symbolizes not only Pietri's valiant effort but also highlights the spirit of competition that defines these historic games. The crowd's anticipation turns into empathy as they witness Pietri's struggle and ultimate collapse. Samuel Begg masterfully captures every detail in this engraving, allowing us to relive this extraordinary moment over a century later. Through his artistry, we are reminded of the physical and mental challenges faced by athletes during such high-stakes competitions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection, it serves as a timeless reminder that sports have always possessed an unparalleled ability to captivate our hearts and minds.
