[A patriotic float in a Union Sunday School parade in Dubuque, Iowa]

Loemker, Herman J., 1868-1937

This image, taken from above street-level, shows a large float drawn by two horses. The float is draped in red white and blue bunting. Blankets in a similar pattern drape the horses. Uncle Sam is standing on the float and doffing his hat to the large crowd of spectators. The float is followed by a long procession of men and women dressed in their Sunday best, is moving along a brick street. Street car tracks are visible in the street. Children are also marching beside the float, and a small girl may be seen carrying a sign reading “Americans for Christ.” The number 1312-3 is written on a label that has been stuck to the lower left corner of the slide.
