1928 OLYMPIC TOBACCO CARD: 100 METER FINAL START
Color: Black; White
A cigarette or tobacco card of the start of the 100 metre final race at the 1928 Olympic Games at Amsterdam, 1928. The image shows the runners leaving the starting block with the first push from the blocks. All but one have light colored uniforms on, with the runner at the far right having a darker-colored track suit on. In the background are onlookers on the field as well as a sparse crowd in the stands of the stadium. The number "7" is at the lower left corner, signifying the number of this card in a series. On the reverse, within a Grecian-like border is the wording "OLYMPIC / Champions / AMSTERDAM / 1928 / A SERIES OF 36," with the indication that this card is the seventh. Also described is that the photograph shows the start of the race, which was won by Canadian P. Williams. The issuer's name and address is at the bottom. In good condition, the artifact only shows the barest of edge wear.
