Description
RARE 1924 OLYMPIC DIPLOMA AWARDED TO ALBERT SPEAROW
For sixth place in the pole vault (Saut à la Perche), at a height of 3m70. Lithograph on paper depicting winged Victory surrounded by other figures. Bears the printed signatures of Charles Clary, President of the French Olympic Committee, and Pierre de Coubertin, the founder and first president of the International Olympic Committee. Going into the games Spearow was the favorite in the event, but an ankle injury limited him and he finished a disappointing sixth.
