Description
Photograph of a motorized float at the Pasadena Tournament of Roses celebration, ca.1920. An up-close view of a float covered in flowers stands in the center. To the left of center, a man made of lightly colored flowers seems to run forwards while a man made of darkly colored flowers to the right of center seems to wind up to throw a discus. In the center, two young men stand wearing Greek costumes while standing underneath a wide structure with columns while an American flag made of flowers extends into the sky at left. Trees can be seen in the background while people are visible at right.
