Description
Photograph of a float in the Fiesta de Los Angeles parade decorated with flying fish, ca.1915. The rectangular float can be seen at center and is headed towards the foreground at left. Two fake fish can be seen on the front of the float, while replica seahorses and coral can be seen near the back. A woman in a long dress stands in the middle. Dozens of people can be seen lining the side of the street, watching the parade. Legible signs include, from left: "Select Beer", "Best Clothing in Los Angeles for Less Money", "Cohen, Misfit Clothing Tailor Made Suits $4.00 to $10.00", "Ireland", and "Drugs".
