2012.517.1.1Description
A real photo postcard, "#19. 'The Butterflies' Electrical Parade, L.A., 1912." The item shows a float with an oval center above a floral bedecked platform and wings extending on both sides. Several young women sit along the base, which looks like a bridge over a body of water. The float is well-lit throughout. The caption is in white lettering at the bottom and the postally unused card was in an album. With paper residue on the reverse, where a pencil inscription reads "About the prettiest / one of all,", abrasions, and edge abrasions, the condition is good.Lexicon
