Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (off white with yellow and red corner trim). The frame is labeled "7—4—62 Juneau CDA float" in handwriting. The image shows an unknown street in Juneau along the parade route. The image is captured on a diagonal, showing the left sidewalk of the street, beyond which there are rounded mountains. There are spectators on the sidewalk, and power lines crossing the top of the image. A float is traveling along the street away from the camera, colored white with golden trim and bottom tassels. The top is decorated with garlands and faux green vine. There seems to be a representation of the Virgin Mary at the head of the float, with three children kneeling before her, perhaps emulating the apparition at Fatima, Portugal. The rear text reads "Catholic Daughters of America CDA" and the side text reads "Pray for Peace." The number "29" is printed in ink on the frame at the upper left. Also bears the printed text "JUL 62P" on the bottom edge, perhaps indicating when the slide was developed.
