Photograph of a horse-drawn float in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade, ca.1906. The float is facing to the left of the image and is comprised of a covered four-wheel buggy decorated with an assortment of flowers and pulled by a single dark horse. There are three people in the carriage--a man, a woman and a child. All are dressed neatly, the woman and child in white and the man in a dark suit and straw hat. There is another horse to the right of the float, and a large house is visible in the distance on the right. The carriage is stopped in front of a group of trees, including a palm tree.
