Product Overview

This is an framed antique photo from 1909.  It depicts 2 olympic runners, Alfie Shrubb (Left: England) & Tom Longboat (Right: Onondaga Nation Canada) racing near Madison Square Garden in NYC.  The gentleman in the middle with the starter pistol is "Big" Tim Sullivan, who was a NY politician.  He controlled Manhattan's Bowery & Lower East Side districts.  This is an absolute amazing piece of history!  Please see pictures for more details.  Frame has some scratches.
