Original 1935 large photograph of Ohio State superstar Jesse Owens as he sails through the air in setting a new record for the long jump at the famed Drake relays. He would by the next summer be the most famous man in America as he dominated the Olympics in the face of Hitler and racism. A fine image in great shape issued by NEA and stamped on the back and with a full paper caption as well, it is likely that this is the only example of this photo that exists in the world!
