Yes, this is “the” shot of Owens, the most important photo ever taken, in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. It is pure speed: from his graceful movement to his fistic facial determination. Earliest stamp is 1951 but undoubtedly 1936 vintage. International Newsreel stamp on verso. EX. 7x9”. One of the most important sports image in the collection.
