Description
Photograph of a float decorated with a swan in the Fiesta de Los Angeles parade, ca.1915. The float can be seen at center and is headed to the foreground at left. A large replica of a swan can be seen near the front of the float, while massive flowers can be seen on the sides. Women wearing long dresses and headbands can be seen sitting near the back of the float, while dozens of spectators line the street in the background. Buildings are visible along the street as well. 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".
