Photo of four men and a woman standing outside of tent #138. Other tent nearby. On back, mention of a ‘turnfest’, which is a North American Gymnastic Union competition.

Appears that one man has camera around his neck?

Address written on bottom of picture “Dora Kiel Moline Ill. 1729 – 18 ½ Ave.”. Lady in picture?

7/26/09
I took this picture at the Turnfest & I have your card to which address you asked me to send the postal. Have I sent you the right picture? I took so many that I find trouble in sending the right ones to the right place.

 

Postmarked 'MOLINE, ILL JUL 26 1909’ on 1 cent Franklin, mailed to New York City.

Creases UL and LL corners. Toning on back.
