Very early vintage glossy 2.75 x 4.5 full-length photo of a young Owens in his track uniform and shoes posing on a field, signed in fountain pen. Accompanied by a second unsigned vintage photo, 3 x 4, of Owens in his Ohio State track uniform. In fine condition, with a bit of irregular ink adhesion to a couple letters of signature. Photos originate from former friend and classmate of Owens at East Tech High School in Cleveland, Ohio, Joseph Lanese, who kept in touch with Owens after he left for college. Signed photos of Owens from before the 1936 Olympics are incredibly scarce.
