EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the historic moment of the start of the 1908 Olympic Marathon at Windsor Castle on July 24th. The image beautifully captures the essence of this early 20th-century event, with a group of determined men ready to embark on a grueling race that would test their physical endurance. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to an era where caps and hats were fashionable athletic attire, and shorts and vests were the chosen outfit for these brave competitors. The anticipation is palpable as they stand poised at the starting line, each one eager to prove themselves in this prestigious sporting event. Windsor Castle stands majestically in the background, lending an air of grandeur to this already monumental occasion. It serves as a reminder that even amidst such regal surroundings, sport has always had the power to unite people from all walks of life. The starter's raised arm signals the beginning of what will undoubtedly be an arduous journey for these athletes. Their determination shines through their eyes as they prepare themselves mentally for what lies ahead - miles upon miles of running towards victory. This print not only immortalizes a significant moment in Olympic history but also reminds us that sports have long been a source of inspiration and camaraderie among individuals across generations.
