Description
Photograph of a flowery float in the Fiesta de Los Angeles Parade, ca.1915. The parade can be at center and is completely covered in flowers. It appears to be expanding outward as it gets taller. Two women can be seen on the top of the float, and the illegible name of a club appears on the side. Throngs of people can be seen near the sidewalk on the far side of the street, while two uniformed police officers are visible in the foreground at left. The tall, brick Casa Loma building can be seen in the background at left.
