Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (off white with yellow and red corner trim). The frame is labeled "Garden Club Float 7—4—59" in handwriting. The image shows an aerial shot of an unknown street on the parade route, captured on a downward facing diagonal. A low cement wall is visible at the top left (a number of people are sitting atop it), with a row of shrubbery at its right. A cement street occupies the center of the image, on which two floats are traveling. The first is mostly out of frame, but it is dark blue with yellow trim, and its rear side text reads "Alaska". The other float is completely visible in the center of the image, sky blue with yellow trim and faux floral arrangements at the front and rear, depictions of the state flag on eithr side. A number of whimsically dressed people sit in a sunken area toward the rear. Lateral text on the left side reads "Alaska's Flag". The number "7" is printed in red ink on the frame at the upper left.
