A Sunny Afternoon at Camp Chicken

A Sunny Afternoon at Camp Chicken
A camping/tents photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

Judging by the banner hanging above the tents, Camp Chicken is the name of this encampment. Three women and a child pose in front of the three tents on the right. On the other side, a man is lying in a hammock, and behind him is a boy and another man, both of whom are sitting on chairs.

A breeze blowing through the woods has blurred the large American flag flying above the kitchen tent, and some of the smaller flags hanging above the openings to the other tents are also blurred. Sunlight filtering down through the trees has formed a dappled pattern in the clearing.

This is an unused real photo postcard with an Azo stamp box on the other side (four corner triangles pointing up) that indicates a date that may be as early as 1904 to 1918.

For similarly in-tents scenes, see Tents at Raise 'ell Camp, Cooks Mill, Pennsylvania, Bob White Camp, and The Methodist Church Choir Camp, 1908.

In the UK and I think many countries, ordinary prints were made as postcards. I have photos of my ancestors on postcards and most I wouldn't have expected to have been sent through the mail.
