Rome 1960
The cover of Punch magazine, that for 24 August 1960. Rome are hosting the Olympic Games and George Worsley Adamson (1913-2005) provided a suitable illustration. The Soviet Union headed the medal table with 43 golds; GB won just two, leaving us 12th in the rankings. I hear that we did rather better this year.
