"L.E. Myers, Runner" is a lithograph from the "World's Champions" trading card series produced by Allen & Ginter in 1888. Featuring a portrait of the athlete L.E. Myers, the card showcases his athletic prowess with a red and white cross on his chest, his record time, and a decorative border of flowers and wings. These cards were originally given away with Allen & Ginter cigarettes, contributing to the growing popularity of sports and trading cards in the late 19th century.
