Great question!
In 1931 , Jim Thorpe hosted a training event at his home in Inglewood, CA where he utilized his sons (Phil age 4, and Billy age 3) in a promo of educational football photos titled "History of the Game".
He shot a series of 4 photos with his sons, and then several other photo shoots without his kids.
I've been trying to track down the 4 KNOWN photos (I have 2, one of them I can't find a reference for -3rd), and the photo I attached is a copy of the 4th. I'm looking for THAT specific photo in Original Type 1 production. The 1931 Cleveland News Press said there are four or I would only have reference for the 3 I have located.
He also shot some photos that same day with his dogs "Beezer" and "Don" where his kids are running with him. I haven't located those yet either.
