EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases American high jumper, Harry Porter, in the midst of an extraordinary moment at the 1908 Olympic Games. Porter, known for his innovative approach to the high jump event, is depicted in mid-air, using a modified scissors technique that defied the conventional methods of his time. With a determined and focused expression, Porter soars over the bar, defying gravity and pushing the boundaries of athletic achievement. The illustration, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd in 1908, captures the excitement and tension of the Olympic Games and the spirit of competition that drove athletes like Porter to reach new heights. This iconic image is a testament to Porter's skill, courage, and groundbreaking approach to the high jump event, making it a must-have for any sports or Olympic history collection.
