Description:

Black and white photographic print on slightly beige paper depicting the 1898 Spanish-American War Parade as viewed on Jefferson Avenue near Wayne Street, facing east. A formation of uniformed soldiers marches west along Jefferson. In the foreground are people, horse-drawn wagons, and carriages stopped to watch. A Pittmans and Dean Company ice delivery wagon is amongst them. Flags are draped from the buildings along Jefferson. H.S. Robinson and Company, Frohlich Edward Glass Company, Cowyer and Ward Millinery, and A.H. Krum and Company are all visible. A partially visible man in the foreground along the left edge raises his arm, perhaps in a salute.
