According to the Wisconsin Historical Society the photo is from a July 2, 1909 test flight of the biplane invented by Ray Zorn of Dayton, Ohio, who later resided in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The Curtiss-inspired pusher plane looks like it is of later vintage, though, and other sources talk of a 1911 Zorn biplane.

The 1911 Zodiac No. 4 tractor biplane 2-seater was designed and built by Societe Zodiac in France.
The 1911 Zodiac No. 3 pusher biplane was designed and built by Societe Zodiac in France.
Zodiac monoplane No.2, known as L’Albatros was ordered by the Prince de Nissole and built in 1910 in France.
The third and final configuration of the non-rigid French military airship first flown on December 6, 1911 named in honour of pioneer aviator Capitaine Ferdinand Ferber. Of 76 meters length and of 12.4 meters maximum diameter, the 6000 m³ Zodiac X, here shown in its hangar at Epinal, had a maximum speed of 60 km/h powered by two Dansette-Gillet engines of 100 hp, each driving two propellers. Perhaps the most successful French airship of 1912-13, “Capitaine Ferber” was dismantled in 1914 prior to the outbreak of WWI.
The French military authorities were able to examine the German ZIV and accumulated data was passed to the Zodiac company where the information was utilised by them in the Spiess wooden-framed rigid they were then building.
The Spiess-Zodiac No.XIII was already far advanced in its construction at this time but was now modified, to an extant, in light of the new information. It was lengthened for instance. Being of wooden construction it could have benefited little from the technological windfall obtained from the aluminium-framed ZIV.
The Spiess dirigible was completed within six months, flying in late 1913 and immediately entering army service.
