Horses pull a platform carrying several people in Revolutionary War costume. Some of the soldiers have firearms and one is behind a cannon. The platform appears to show a bridge over a river.
A platform designed to look like a horizontal dictionary, pulled by horses. Two children operate a printing press and a man is seated at a table in front of two large upright books.
A parade float carries five women in costume. Four face another woman wearing an antebellum era dress and bonnet who stands in the doorway of a small building.
Designed as a residence by architect Ithiel Town, this building was acquired by the United Church on the Green in 1890. It was bought by Yale University Press in 1973, but at the time of this photo it was still in use as a parish house.
