Description
Photograph of a horse-drawn float in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade, ca.1907. The float is facing to the left and is composed of a four-wheeled wagon covered in a wide variety of flowers and pulled by two gray horses. The float is being ridden by a group of young girls with flowers in their hair, while a young boy stands to the right holding a ribbon and two uniformed men tend to the horses. The float is stopped in front of a half-timber-style house, the front of which is mostly covered by thick trees.
