This photograph was likely taken on September 4, 1931, during the Parade of Four Flags. 200,000 spectators gathered to watch the Parade on opening day of la Fiesta de Los Angeles. The parade route was along Figueroa St, between Olympic Blvd and Washington Blvd. This photograph is likely related to the article, "Thousands Line Streets to See 'Ghosts of Past,'" Los Angeles Times, 6 Sep 1931: A1. A platform with a "Hand Drawn Silby Steamer" from the Lyon Pony Express Museum in Pasadena sits on a platform, attached to another float. Spectators are lined up along the street to watch the parade.
