1928 Extremely rare photograph of Jack London, the third black athlete to compete for Great Britain at the Olympics and the second to ever win a medal. While he was beaten here by Henry Russell, he has gone down in history as one of the most important Olympians of his era and this is one of his only images we have ever seen! Issued by the International News and in great shape with a full paper caption as well.
