EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Canadian sprinter Percy Williams in 1928, a moment frozen in time by an unknown creator. Williams, born in 1908 and passed away in 1982, achieved greatness at the 1928 Summer Olympics held in Amsterdam. He emerged as the gold medalist in both the men's 100m and 200m races, solidifying his place among athletic legends. The image is sourced from "Die Welt in Bildern" (The World in Pictures), a cigarette card album dating back to approximately 1928. The vibrant colors of this print bring to life the concept of triumph and national pride associated with sporting achievements. Percy Williams stands tall at the finishing line, representing not only himself but also his country - Canada. This photograph showcases his determination and strength as he crosses the tape victoriously. It encapsulates a defining moment for him as an athlete, forever etching his name into Olympic history. Although we may never know who precisely captured this iconic image, it remains a testament to Williams' extraordinary accomplishments on that fateful day. His victory serves as an inspiration for future generations of athletes worldwide. As we admire this snapshot from the past, let us celebrate Percy Alfred Williams - a remarkable sportsman whose talent propelled him to become a gold medallist and winner on one of sport's grandest stages: The Olympic Games.
