Rare early 1933 three-part composite photograph of young high school track superstar Jesse Owens as he shows all the facets of his dominance as he prepared for a match with Ralph Metcalfe to decide who was the fastest man in the world. A rare piece of history issued by Acme and with a stamp and a full paper caption on the back. There is a slight touch of wear and an editorial marking across the front from publication but it is otherwise quite nice.
