Job 106, Macy's Christmas Parade, 1926
Summary:
For Macy’s third annual Thanksgiving Day or Christmas parade, Geddes produced eight design drawings between 7 and 15 October 1926: the inaugural unit holding a “Macy’s Christmas Parade” sign; a Humpty Dumpty balloon float with band; a menagerie zoo; a Cinderella-themed third band; Punch and Judy, clowns, and airplane floats; a fourth band and Christmas tree float; and a finale Santa Claus float with “Follow the Parade to Macy’s” marching snowmen.
Please note: Due to their poor condition, these drawings are not available for research.
