The Olympic games at Athens, 1906
A 1906 record of the Athens Olympic Games, compiled by James Edward Sullivan and published in New York by the American Sports Publishing Company for an American sporting audience. The photographs show athletes at the finish of the marathon, the start of the 100-metre run with a crowd behind the track, the stadium seen from above, and two officials on the track with a signed photograph. For designers, the sepia tones, rotated page scans and dense crowds of spectators offer a period sports-photography look.
