ROGER G. BANNISTER
A later photograph of Bannister seated in a chair and holding a stop
watch (6x4 color image)
Photograph signed: "Roger Bannister", in blue ink, 6x4 (one
surface). On May 6, 1954, Roger G. Bannister (b. 1929) ran the first
sub-four-minute mile in recorded history. The 25-year-old native of Harrow
on the Hill, England, completed the distance in 3:59.4 at Oxford. After
his record-breaking run, Bannister and friends partied at night clubs until
nearly dawn, yet Bannister showed up on time for medical classes the next
morning, looking fresh. Australian miler John Landy soon recorded a sub-4 minute
mile of his own. The two had a showdown race, which Bannister won. At the end
of the year, Bannister retired from running to pursue his medical studies
full-time. He later became a neurologist. Fine condition.
