It is hard to imagine Jesse Owens having the success he did without the instruction of his coach Larry Snyder and likewise, Snyder would be a footnote to history without the success of Owens. The careers of each were intertwined and that makes this image all the more important. Rarely photographed together, here Jesse Owens is seen in his Ohio State uniform along with Snyder shortly before the two men left for Berlin and the history books! This is the only image of the pair together we have ever seen and anyone who has seen the film "Race" or studied the life of Owens knows how important a piece of history this photograph is! Issued by the Associated Press and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well.
