Original vintage black-and-white gelatin silver press photograph featuring Syracuse University football player G. Bryant "Byron" Thompson, dated November 18, 1920. The photograph captures the formidable Syracuse guard standing in full uniform on the playing field of Archbold Stadium, with the grandstands visible in the soft-focused background. The reverse of the photograph bears a typed editorial caption reading "Thompson, Syracuse guard", along with an official purple ink stamp from the Newspaper Enterprise Association (N.E.A.) Reference Department dated "NOV 18 1920". It also features handwritten archive codes (B622) and technical production markings. G. Bryant Thompson was a standout five-year letterwinner (1916–1920) for the Syracuse Orangemen, anchoring the line alongside legendary Hall of Fame captain Joe "Doc" Alexander during the successful 1920 independent season under head coach Chick Meehan.
