EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the triumphant moment when Australian rower Bobby Pearce emerges as the victor in the single sculls event at the 1928 Summer Olympics held in Amsterdam. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but its historical significance is undeniable. Bobby Pearce, born in 1905 and passing away in 1976, was a true sporting legend who secured gold medals not only in Amsterdam but also at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. His exceptional talent and unwavering determination propelled him to become one of Australia's most celebrated athletes. Captured within "Die Welt in Bildern" (The World in Pictures), a cigarette card album dating back to approximately 1928, this colorized photograph showcases Pearce adorned with a laurel wreath—a symbol of his extraordinary achievement. With his strong physique and focused gaze, he embodies the essence of an accomplished sportsman. This snapshot transports us back to a time when rowing was revered as an emblematic sport that showcased strength, endurance, and skill. It serves as a testament to both Pearce's individual prowess and Australia's rich sporting heritage. As we admire this piece from Georg A Jasmatzi's collection produced by A. -G Dresden, Germany—representative of early twentieth-century artistry—we are reminded of how photographs can encapsulate moments that transcend time. This image immortalizes Bobby Pearce's triumph on those historic waters while inspiring future generations with its timeless message: perseverance leads to victory.
