Description
Photograph of a float in Shriner's electrical parade, ca.1910. A flower laden, oval shaped archway encircles the float while women sit inside wearing costumes. What seems to be a two dimensional beehive stand in the center with a furry anteater type creature standing on top. Figurines that seem to be bees are suspended all around to create the look of flying. Large flowers with lights in the center are scattered about the ground of the float while a sign to the left reads "Fish balloon", and one to the right reads "Busy Bee".
