- Description:
- Photograph. Sepia-toned gelatin silver photo of a decorated automobile that was part of the Detroit Bi-Centenary Parade. The car body and wheels are covered with artificial flowers. Two men are seated in the front seat of the auto and two women are seated in the back. All are well-dressed and one of the women is holding a parasol. Several bystanders can be seen in the background which appears to be a city park. One man is standing in the street near the front of the auto. (The same man can also be seen in photo 1953.026.018 so it is possible that he was involved with the parade organization or was an assistant to the photographer.) Handwriting on the verso notes "Olds Automobile for Mrs. James H. Donovan and Mrs. Marguerite Beaubien. Also R. E. Olds & Frederick Smith."

- Photograph. A mounted sepia-toned gelatin silver print of a float on an unidentified street that was part of the Floral Parade celebrating Detroit's bicentennial, held July 26, 1901. The float is mounted on streetcar trucks and decorated to depict a scene from Detroit's history. An illuminated sign at the right end of the float notes "Bloody Run." A bridge sits at the center of the float. On one side are five men in stereotypical Native American costumes; on the other are three men in stereotypical British colonial military costumes. Visible on the far right is a sign that reads "Wayne's Army in Possession." A police officer stands to the right of the float. In the background are onlookers and houses.
