| Description | References the 1948 Summer Olympics in London. The artwork is in Babylonian or ancient Greek style; the athletes are competing in hurdles, high jump, shotput, javelin, and discus. One of the runners [possibly in a Russian-style fur hat] is pouring tacks in front of a competitor. Annotations and/or printers' instructions [partly obscured by mount] in unknown handwriting in the margins: one [possibly in Shepard's] gives the date. |
