Willie Keeler, c. 1907

A leaping Willie Keeler circa 1907. Although there is a later Keystone stamp on back, this image is almost assuredly from The Pictorial News Co. Note the similar image below of Keeler in the collection with an identical piece of debris directly behind Keeler. Note the faint “0560” to the right of Keeler’s bottom foot. This coincides with the “0558” on the other Pictorial News Keeler iamge. They were likely taken as a series of similar poses.
