Linda and Harry Leary Signed Photograph (Certified Copy)
Linda and Harry Leary Signed Photograph (Certified Copy)
This signed photograph of Harry Leary and Linda Leary represents a rare personal artifact connected to the life and legacy of one of BMX racing’s most influential pioneers. The image captures a moment from Leary’s riding career and has been preserved as a certified copy of the only known signature Linda Leary retained from Harry.
This specific copy was personally signed and gifted by Linda Leary to the Lititz BMX Archive, adding direct family provenance to the artifact. The photograph holds additional significance because the archive also preserves two other items featured in the image: the factory racing jersey and the Specialized Hemi BMX frame ridden by Leary.
Together, these artifacts create a unique documented connection between a historic photograph and the physical objects shown within it. By preserving both the image and the equipment used at that moment in time, the Lititz BMX Archive provides a rare opportunity to link visual documentation with original BMX artifacts associated with Harry Leary’s career.
