In this print captured by the talented Bob Hope, we are transported back to December 1952. The image showcases the legendary Roger Bannister, an icon in the world of athletics, as he arrives at St Martins in the Field with a distinctive red dispatch box in hand. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the bustling atmosphere of London during the 1950s. Bannister's presence exudes determination and focus, evident not only through his athletic attire but also his poised stance. Clad in classic shorts and a sporty vest, he stands out amidst the busy city backdrop. His mere presence commands attention from passersby who undoubtedly recognize him as one of Britain's most celebrated athletes.
