- Sepia-toned photographic print from the studio of Louis James Pesha depicting a large crowd gathered in Campus Martius, for the automobile parade held as part of the Cadillaqua celebration overlapping with the Fourth of July, as viewed from an elevated position, likely at the Majestic Building, facing south. A banner, reading, "Harold Jarvis will sing of Masonic Moonlight on steamer STE. CLAIRE," "City of the Straits Lodge, Mon. July 29," and "Mon. July 29. The majority of the crowd are wearing hats, and boater hats appear to be the predominant style. Streetcars make their way through the crowd, and those headed north on Woodward Avenue carry additional passengers on their roofs. A utility pole near the Michigan Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument has become a perch for several spectators as well. American flags are hung from nearly every other window of the Pontchartrain Hotel. A large sign reading, "Conventions & Auto Bulletin" is posted above the corner of Woodward and Fort Street. To its right are several signs advertising railroad lines--Canadian Pacific, Pere Marquette, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. This corner is also draped with flags and banners. The stretch of Woodward leading to the Detroit River is similarly decorated. "Detroit, Mich. 1907, NA 66537-B" handwritten on verso.
