Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (off white with yellow and red corner trim). The frame is labeled "Queen Dodie Peterson 4th—59" in handwriting. The image shows a wide dirt lot, captured diagonally. At left there is a low brown building bearing a sign reading "F.M.S. Electronics Division." Parked cars surround the structure. A truck with a yellow cab fitted to be a parade float stands parked at the center of the image. It is draped in blue textile decor, with frontal text reading "State of Alaska." There is a large silver star at the rear, where it seems like a figure sits, probably the eponymous parade queen. In the background, tall rounded peaks loom overhead. The number "12" is printed in red ink on the frame at the upper left.
