1951 Large horizontal action photograph of Roger Bannister as he closes in on the four-minute mile. This image was taken at the Penn Relays, outdoors and he clocked an impressive 4:08 which at the time was a new outdoor record for the course! He would of course set a record that would be talked about to this day! The quality of the image is impressive with note to a pin hole on the lower right corner.
