A vintage photograph of the 'Sturt II Football Club season ?1909'

Adelaide, Teakle Photo, [circa 1909].

A gelatin silver photograph (approximately 234 × 306 mm), on the original captioned mount (external dimensions approximately 290 × 400 mm).

The photograph is a little scuffed and lightly marked, with minor loss to the right-hand corner tips; the mount is a little stained and damaged with some loss, particularly to the right-hand and bottom margins (the latter with some loss to the manuscript title); overall, in presentable condition, now loosely backed up with stiff card in a custom-made Mylar sleeve.

The date, partially obscured on the captioned mount, is suggested by an article in the Adelaide 'Daily Herald', Wednesday 9 March 1910, under the headline 'Sturt II Club': 'The fourth annual meeting of the above club was held on Tuesday evening in the bowls clubhouse on the Unley Oval, when the President (Mr F. Dicken) presided over a large attendance. The President, in opening the meeting, congratulated members on the success of the past season, when the club attained the proud position of first premiers of the newly formed South Australian Football Association.... The medals, presented by supporters, had been awarded as follows: Best all-round player, M. Bannigan; best placed man, G. Bugg; most unselfish player, R. Kappler; and most improved player, J. Osborn. For brilliant play in the premiership match, a medal was presented to the captain (R. Barrow), and trophies to A. Bonds and A. Kappler'.
