EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the London 1908 Olympic Games captures one of the earliest Olympic dramas ever recorded on film. The image depicts Pietri Dorando, a marathon runner, being helped after collapsing just moments before crossing the finishing line. This iconic moment unfolded during the 1908 Olympic Marathon, forever etching itself in sporting history. In an act of sportsmanship and determination, Dorando received assistance from an official holding a megaphone in the final lap of his race. However, this act ultimately led to his disqualification from the event. Despite this setback, Dorando's struggle and resilience resonated with people around the world. The photograph quickly gained global attention and became widely circulated as it showcased both human vulnerability and triumph amidst adversity. It serves as a testament to the spirit of competition and camaraderie that defines the Olympic Games. The black-and-white image transports us back to a bygone era, capturing not only Dorando's physical exhaustion but also showcasing elements such as policemen overseeing the event and a crowd eagerly watching on. The man's straw boater hat adds an additional touch of historical charm. Bernard Grant's expertly preserved print allows us to relive this historic moment over a century later. It serves as a reminder that even in defeat, there is beauty in perseverance – making it an invaluable piece for any sports enthusiast or lover of history alike.
