Large black and white photographic print depicting Mrs. William A. Crosby of Battle Creek

Description:

Large black and white photographic print depicting Mrs. William A. Crosby of Battle Creek (as identified on verso) riding in a two-wheeled carriage or chariot drawn by a team of four horses participating in the floral parade which the Women's Bi-Centennial Committee held as part of Detroit's bicentennial celebration in 1901. The bridles, harness, and the visible parts of the chariot are all decorated with flowers. A crowd stands along the edge of the street. A two story building and many trees are visible in the background. The plate which this image was printed from appears to have suffered silvering which has translated into this print.
