From the original Linocut (c. 1930).  Printed from 2 blocks: venetian red and viridian (see The Runners print) but printed again, in reverse, using the same blocks but with orange and blue. Quite possibly this was limited to only one impression, but Power here manages to capture that instance in a relay race when one team is far enough ahead of the other as to seem, when viewed from the side, to be running in the opposite direction.
