PHOTOGRAPH, FLOAT OF LOS ANGELES ELKS LODGE #99, ELKS PARADE, LOS ANGELES, July 1921. The image shows the float being driven down Broadway near Fifth Street and the float has two white elks, a pedestal with flowers in a vase, and a canopied compartment with people in it. The city seal and lodge name and location are on the front and right side. In the background are crowds along the street, business buildings decorated with Elks banners and American flags, and, at the far left, a car following the float. A pencil inscription on the reverse reads "L.A. float in Big parafe / 7/21." Other than corner creases and slight soiling, the condition is good.
