Three men on horseback in the Rose Parade, with the center rider lifting his hat to two spectators standing in the street. Behind him area spectators in grandstand seating. View down Colorado Blvd. facing west with the Goodhue Flagpole at the intersection with Orange Grove Blvd. in the distance on the left.
A similar photograph taken on the same occasion appears with the headline, “Fiftieth Rose Parade Thrills Record Throng,” Los Angeles Times, 3 Jan 1939: 2.
