1935 Large photograph of a shirtless Jim Thorpe as he started to transition from the gridiron to Hollywood. An incredible piece of history, this is stamped on the back by RKO photographer Robert Coburn and is the only example of a shirtless Thorpe from the film production we have ever seen. The photo has some wear at the corners but otherwise it presents really well.
