EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the London 1908 Olympic Games. The image captures a poignant moment as Dorando Pietri, an Italian athlete, receives a consolation gold cup from none other than Queen Alexandra herself. Dorando Pietri's disqualification in the 1908 London Olympic marathon is well-known in sports history. Despite his physical exhaustion and collapsing just before reaching the finish line at the stadium, his determination and spirit captivated spectators worldwide. Although he was ultimately disqualified for receiving assistance during the race, his valiant efforts left an indelible mark on the hearts of many. Queen Alexandra's gesture of presenting him with a consolation gold cup showcases her admiration for Pietri's incredible display of endurance and resilience. Her regal presence adds an air of grandeur to this historic moment. This photograph not only immortalizes a significant event in Olympic history but also serves as a reminder that sometimes victory lies not solely in winning medals but rather in embodying true sportsmanship and pushing oneself beyond limits. Bernard Grant has masterfully captured this iconic scene from over a century ago through his lens, allowing us to relive this remarkable chapter in athletic achievement. This print is sure to evoke nostalgia while celebrating both human triumphs and noble gestures amidst fierce competition.
