Caption: This print captures the intense moment when Franz Miller, an official at the 1928 Summer Olympics held in Amsterdam, fires a starter pistol to commence a race. The creator of this powerful image remains unknown, but its significance as a testament to athletic prowess and competition is undeniable. Taken from "Die Welt in Bildern" (The World in Pictures), a cigarette card album dating back to around 1928, this color photograph showcases the vibrant energy of sports during the early 20th century. Georg A Jasmatzi, based in Dresden, Germany, played a crucial role in preserving this historical snapshot for future generations. In this image, we witness Miller's firm grip on the starter pistol as he stands tall and focused amidst the bustling atmosphere of track and field events. As smoke billows out from his weapon, it symbolizes not only the beginning of another thrilling race but also represents how sports can unite people across nations. Miller's actions epitomize determination and strength while embodying the spirit of victory that every athlete strives for. This photograph serves as a reminder of how sportspersons throughout history have pushed boundaries and overcome challenges with unwavering dedication. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection today, let us reflect on its timeless message: that through athleticism and fair competition like those witnessed at Olympic Games past and present – individuals can transcend borders and inspire others towards greatness.
