EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of a legendary figure in the world of speed skating - Oscar Mathisen. Hailing from Norway, Mathisen dominated the sport during the early 1900s, earning him numerous accolades and setting an astounding 14 world records. With a determined gaze and an aura of confidence, Mathisen stands as a testament to his unparalleled skill and dedication. As World All-Around Champion for five consecutive years (1908-1914), he left an indelible mark on both Norwegian and international sports history. In this vintage portrait taken by Malcolm Lubliner in the 1910s, we witness Mathisen's athletic prowess frozen in time. The monochromatic tones add a touch of nostalgia to this historic moment that showcases one man's extraordinary achievements. Mathisen's legacy extends far beyond his medals; he epitomizes what it means to be a true competitor. His relentless pursuit of excellence pushed boundaries and inspired generations to come. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst fierce competition, there is beauty in effort and triumph. As we admire this snapshot from Underwood Archives' collection at Universal Images Group (UIG), let us pay homage to Oscar Mathisen - not just another famous athlete but an emblematic personality who forever changed the landscape of professional sports through his remarkable speed skating career.
