Jack Lovelock on Stamps.
New Zealander Jack Lovelock occupies a prominent position on the official stamp being sold in America in aid of funds to send an American team to the Olympic Games in Finland. The illustration depicts the start of the 1500 metres at the Games in Los Angeles, Lovelock, on the outside of the field, carrying the Silver Fern. This race was won by Luigi Beccali, of Italy. The stamps were being sold in sheets of forty, each sheet costing one dollar.
