Unframed limited‑edition print out of 1754 titled The Moment, signed by Roger Bannister, John Landy and artist Frank Crymble; mint condition with Certificate of Authenticity and photographic provenance documenting its origin from Charlie Warner’s iconic 1954 “Miracle Mile” image
This lot presents “The Moment” — a limited‑edition commemorative print derived from Charlie Warner’s celebrated photograph of the August 7, 1954 Miracle Mile at Empire Stadium, Vancouver — the race in which Roger Bannister (3:58.8) and John Landy (3:59.6) became the first two men to run sub‑four minutes in the same mile, an event widely remembered as one of athletics’ defining moments. The image captures the decisive instant when Bannister passed Landy in the home straight; the site frames the photograph as a singular “moment in time” and provides historical context for the race and its global significanceThe Miracle Mile 1954.
This example is a limited run of 1,754 prints, offered unframed and graded mint (10/10), and is signed by Sir Roger Bannister, John Landy, and artist Frank Crymble. The print is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and provenance photographs documenting signing events and the artwork’s lineage; the Miracle Mile project and related collector notices confirm the limited, autographed availability of these commemorative prints. The artist’s interpretation preserves the photographic composition while adding painterly detail consistent with Frank Crymble’s known work translating sports photography into limited‑edition art.
Condition and presentation: the sheet is unframed, flat, and free of handling marks, foxing, creases, or edge wear; signatures are clear and unfaded.
