Description
Photograph of a float in Shriner's electrical parade, ca.1910. A large stork figure stands in the center of a float with children sitting on top. The stork is illuminated from underneath its feathers while its wings are spread up and its beak is open. Women and children wearing lightly colored dresses sit on the bottom while a circular sign that reads "Stork" hangs from the front. The car appears to be running along the tracks below it on the dirt road.
