EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the English 4 x 100 metres relay team, who made history by winning the gold medals at the inaugural modern Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1912. The team members, from left to right, are: Donald Jacobs, Harold Abrahams Macintosh, Walter Roper Applegarth, and Victor Daniel Arce. Dressed in high-waisted shorts and T-shirts proudly emblazoned with the Union Jack, these athletes embodied the spirit of national pride and athletic excellence that defined the early days of the Olympic Games. The Stockholm Olympics, which took place from May 30 to June 14, 1912, marked the first time that the modern Olympic Games were held since the revival of the event in 1896. The English relay team's victory in the 100-metre relay was a significant achievement, as they set a new world record of 41.2 seconds, shaving off crucial seconds from the previous record. The image showcases the athletes' determination and focus as they prepare for their race, with their intense gaze and poised stances conveying the intensity of the competition. The high-waisted shorts and T-shirts, which were the standard athletic attire of the time, add to the vintage charm of the photograph. This photograph is an essential piece of Olympic history and a testament to the enduring legacy of the modern Olympic Games. It is a reminder of the passion, dedication, and camaraderie that have defined the Olympic movement for over a century. This image is available for licensing from Mary Evans Picture Library and is a must-have for any collection dedicated to Olympic history or sports memorabilia.
