Description
Photograph of a float in Shriner's electrical parade, ca.1910. A serpent like creature runs along the side of the float car while a dome shaped structure stands above. A sheer material creates a wall over the dome while fish with wings line the top and create a flying motion. Women sit on chairs above while more women can be seen inside the doe. The float runs along a track with dirt underneath. A sign on the float reads "Flying fish".
