Description
Photograph of a float in Shriner's electrical parade, ca.1910. A gazebo structure decorated with flowery accents sits at the center of the float with women wearing toga-like costumes sitting inside. A long arched object attached to the side creates a boat feel while four cactus-like objects stand on each corner. The entire float is illuminated while a sign on the left reads "Castle in the air".
