The Finish of the Marathon Race, the Olympic Games, 1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a pivotal moment in sporting history. This lithographic print by Samuel Begg transports us back to the exhilarating atmosphere of the 1908 Summer Games held in London's White City Stadium. In this chaotic scene, we witness a dramatic conclusion to the marathon race. The exhausted Italian runner, Dorando Pietri, is on the brink of collapse as he approaches the finish line. Spectators anxiously watch as officials rush to his aid while maintaining an air of competitive spirit. The image perfectly encapsulates both triumph and turmoil. The crowd's excitement is palpable, their cheers blending with gasps of concern for Pietri's well-being. It is a testament to human endurance and determination that despite his physical exhaustion, Pietri refuses to give up. This historic event symbolizes not only athletic prowess but also sportsmanship and resilience. The engraving beautifully highlights these themes through its intricate details and expressive portrayal of emotions. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how sport has always been able to unite people across nations and cultures. "The Finish of the Marathon Race" serves as a timeless reminder that victory lies not only in crossing the finish line first but also in pushing oneself beyond limits amidst adversity.
