Olympic Games. 1906. Athens/Marathon. In a period album (gold letters on the cover: Olympic Games Athens, 1906" containing an exceptional photo report on these anniversary Games, a marathon collector from East Germany has added for modern times evidence of his passion, and of his participation in the mythical Athens marathon, hence the presence of 3 bibs (1976, 1979, 1981), photos of Athenian sites, as well as of his races. Tickets and press clippings are the other testimonies of a love at first sight for the event and its Greek cradle. It should be noted that in the initial report, although the 11 original GF silver photos from 1906 end with two superb images of the finish of the marathon (1st the Canadian Sherring) (16.5x22), they also offer a nice overview of these Games "catching up" with those of St Louis, as Reichel used to say.
