Description

Sepia tone photo of starting point for Third Annual Hoboken Baby Parade, Fifth and Garden Streets, Hoboken, September 8, 1915. 2-13/16" high x 4-5/8" wide print. Photographer not indicated. Ink numbered in lower right border: 112. Reverse has contemporary ink annotations; inkstamped date; oval inkstamp of H. Jaffee, 118 Washington St., Hoboken. The photo is from a group of 6 baby parade photos, .0004 to .0009, that were apparently from the Elysian Camera Club, 307 Washington Street, and taken by a club member, probably Hermann Jaffee. It is a small, but rich series with text describing the event and the scenes (although sometimes confusingly.) The view is from the west side of Garden and Fourth Streets, 400 block, looking south to Hoboken High School at Fourth and Garden along with several houses north of it. Church Square Park would be out-of-view to the right. None of the people are identified. Several detail images are shown including one at the left with the Division I John Rice sign where a small float is seen beneath it with a fancy sign: The Lion's Bride. The text on the back describes the full parade route. Reverse text and markings: inkstamps: Wednesday Sep 8 1915 [oval] H. Jaffee 118 Washington St. Hoboken, N.J.
