Description
Photograph of a large crowd gathered around a Chinese dragon costume in a demonstration on the streets of Chinatown, ca.1920-1929. A man wearing a dragon's-head costume stands atop three wooden tables, supported by several men in light-colored clothes. The crowd forms a ring around the display, while automobiles cross the foreground and more people watch from a balcony at left. A line of shops is visible in the background, including the "Eastern Grocery Co.", and "F. See on Go".
