Lady Liberty and Her Family in a Decorated Parade Car

Lady Liberty and Her Family in a Decorated Parade Car
A parades photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

In this undated real photo postcard, a girl playing the part of Lady Liberty stands in a decorated car and holds her torch high as she poses for the photographer. A man and a woman (Lady Liberty's parents?) in the front seat of the car and three girls (her sisters?) in the back seat are also dressed in patriotic garb and seem to be awaiting the start of a parade (note the second vehicle behind this car). The word "Liberty" appears on the windshield of the car and on Lady Liberty's cap.

If you look closely (mouse over the image above to see an enlarged view of the occupants of the car), you'll notice that no one seems to be too enthusiastic about their participation in the parade--Lady Liberty is frowning, her mother is givng the photographer an icy look, the kids in the back don't seem happy, and dad is hiding his face. I certainly hope their moods changed once the parade began!

Smiley Derleth, , have particularly liked this photo

Thanks for adding to Vintage Miserable Family, Alan. I love how the close up really enables you to see their pronounced lack of enthusiasm!

Thanks, Deborah! I was surprised to see the glum expressions when I scanned and enlarged the photo.
