1912 Silver gelatin action photograph of Jim Thorpe clearing the bar in the pole vault at the Olympic games in Sweden. Stamped on the back by Paul Thompson and in great shape, this is a photograph we have not seen anywhere, in print or original form, making it likely a unique specimen that is being offered here for the first time ever to the public! Condition and quality are both nice and this is an important piece of memorabilia from the greatest athlete of his generation!
