EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the inaugural modern Olympic Games held in Athens, Greece, in April 1896. Captured by the talented photographer Henry Guttmann, it showcases the bustling crowds both inside and outside the iconic Olympic Stadium. The image transports us to a moment of great anticipation and excitement as spectators gather from all corners of Europe to witness this historic sporting event. The vastness of the stadium is evident, with rows upon rows of people filling every available space. Their faces filled with enthusiasm and curiosity, they eagerly await the commencement of various athletic competitions. The Panathinaiko Stadium stands proudly at the heart of this snapshot, its grandeur serving as a testament to ancient Greek architecture. This venue holds immense historical significance as it was originally built for the Panathenaic Games in 330 BC. Henry Guttmann's expert use of photography adds an air of timelessness to this archival piece. It allows us to appreciate not only the magnitude of these games but also their lasting impact on sports history. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded that even after more than a century has passed since those first modern Olympics took place, their spirit continues to inspire athletes and captivate audiences worldwide.
