Contact seller5-star sellerCondition: Good. - A 12-1/8 inch high by 8-3/4 inch wide leaf from the Argentinian sports magazine "El Grafico", with a full-page illustration of the American sprinter Charles "Charley" Paddock portrayed in three-quarter profile from the chest up. The corners are slightly creased and there are stab-marks along the page's right e…dge. A color illustration of the "Primera Division del Club Atletico Estudiantes de la Plata" team is pictured on the verso. Good. Charley Paddock (1900-1943) was considered the "World's Fastest Human" in the 1920's. Although he stood out for his unusual finishing style of jumping at the tape, Paddock was a fast solid sprinter who set world records under his coach Dean Cromwell and won several Olympic gold medals. Paddock had a brief movie career before WWII where he perished in a plane crash while serving in the Marines.Founded by Constancio Vigil in 1919, "El Grafico" was an Argentine sports magazine which started as a weekly newspaper before subsequently turning exclusively to the coverage of sports. One of the most highly regarded sports magazines in Latin America, it came to earn the nickname "La Biblia de deporte" ("The Bible of sports").
