- 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.
