Sheet of four black and white photographs.
Top left photograph (landscape 5" W X 4" H): A group of seven male musicians playing horns and a drum. On the drum face is the name "Old German Band", "...Everett, Wn", and a cartoon of a man's face with playing a flute and wearing a cap. The conductor wears a tuxedo, waves his stick, and wears a Prussian metal spiked helmet. The other men play trumpets and other brass instruments, but one man plays a drum strapped to his chest. They play in the street for passers-by. Photo may have been taken by either Danny Brown or Orville Bergerson.
Top right photograph (landscape 5" W X 4" H)): View from shore looking out toward Penn Cove and the Coupeville wharf crowded with spectators. In the foreground is a large canoe with four people and a baby in it. In the distance to the right of the wharf is a large power boat.
Lower left photograph (landscape 5" W X 4" H): Parade of Native Americans lead a water festival parade in costume walking down Front Street toward the museum Alexander Street. Four Native American girls in ceremonial dress walk at the front. The lead girl in the parade is wearing the number 21 on her chest. A Native American man(?) walks with them, dressed in dark clothing, sporting a dark feathered headdress and holding a spear/pole. A group of young men in white shirts and ties march behind them. Spectators and kiosks line both sides of the street. Flags and banners are strung up in the air, floating between the buildings.
Lower right photograph (landscape 5" W X 4" H): Group of Native Americans in costume performing a ceremonial dance on what may be the wharf bridge or another dock. A few of them stand in a semi-circle, perhaps chanting/singing, whilst three men dance. People watch the performance in this cramped space. The dancers wear bells around the ankles and calves. Photo may have been taken by either Danny Brown or Orville Bergerson.Collection
