Description: Historical Panoramic Photograph: Decatur Gun Club, July 22, 1915 This remarkable 8” x 32” sepia-toned panoramic photograph captures a moment frozen in time: a gathering of sharp-dressed men, women, and trapshooting enthusiasts at the Decatur Gun Club in Decatur, Illinois, on July 22, 1915. The photograph showcases a strikingly detailed view of early 20th-century outdoor recreation, complete with period attire, vintage firearms, and a large central event tent. Key figures, including Arthur Berkeley (identified in the photo), stand alongside a diverse group of shooters and spectators, with expressions ranging from pride to focus. The backdrop features automobiles of the era, wooden club buildings, and rural Illinois scenery, offering an authentic glimpse into the culture of the time. This image is not only a historical artifact of the sport of trapshooting but also a vivid portrayal of community and camaraderie during a simpler era. Its impressive scale and clarity make it a unique piece for collectors of early photography, sporting history, or Americana. See photos for details.
