Alt Text

A large crowd at a stadium event, with smoke billowing from a large, raised cannon and two people flying through the air, presumably having been just shot out of said cannon. A typewritten label identifies the performers as Duina and Egle Zacchini, and a handwritten note dedicates the photo "to the International Club."
