Large 1912 photograph of Jim Thorpe at the AAU Championships on September 2 at Celtic Park in New York and in suspended animation during the follow through of one of his throws in the Decathlon competition. One of his most famous images ever taken, this is a very old re-strike from the years right after WWII and printed on thick double weight paper making it a fantastic high quality specimen. This is one of the only examples of this photograph we have ever seen that dates to Thorpe's lifetime and we are pleased to present it here for the first time since it was pulled out of a California archive! Photo has a few light tiny creases but it presents beautifully.
