Santa Monica's host city float in the California Admission Day parade, Santa Monica, 1937

Description:
Santa Monica’s host city float in the California Admission Day parade. Spectators line both sides of 4th St. as the float passes in front of Security First National Bank (at right). At the center of the float is a reproduction of the Seal of California, including a live model posed as the Roman goddess Minerva, seated and holding a staff with a shield propped near her feet. The seal’s other symbolic emblems – a California grizzly bear feeding on a cluster of grapes, a sheaf of wheat, a miner with pickax, and ships sailing in the bay – are all represented here. The phrase “Eureka” is printed below thirty-one stars, above the mountains and rising sun. Surrounding the image are the words “The Great Seal of the State of California,” replicating the version of the state seal that was standardized in 1937. To the left of the shield is a small statue of a Franciscan monk and a model of a sailing ship. Two additional monks are viewed on a small ledge at right, below a rendering of a contemporary view of the Santa Monica skyline above what appears to be cliffs. Words along the side of the platform read: “Santa Monica – California’s Host 1937… Santa Monica.” Photographed on 4th St. at Santa Monica Blvd. Businesses following the parade route north include: Security First National Bank; [second floor above the bank:] “F.R. Lee Insurance,” and “Law Offices Nelson D. Miller.” “Steams[hip] Pacific…Dollar…,” “Motor Coach Stage,” “The Ann Howe Shop,” “The Model Barber
