Most of these photographs are from the 1930s and 40s. I love the old balloons. The parade did not run during the peak of World War II. The balloons have also not been allowed when winds are high. A few of the photographs may be before the 1930s and 40s and some are obviously after that.

Or is it deflating, making fins seem like arms? |

ReplyDeleteOutstanding collection, EBL.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know what that insect/rodent/saurian mutant at #2 is supposed to be.
I think it is a "dragon" but I agree it is some sort of hybrid mutant thing. Thanks.
