Carnival. Nice 1950.

During the 1950 Carnival in Nice, a whimsical parade float crowded with massive papier-mâché figures moves along a wide city street. The grotesque characters feature exaggeratedly large heads and wide grins; one rides a rearing, winged horse. In the foreground, four men pose for the camera, one in a jockey’s helmet atop a horse and another in a shiny, satin-like suit. An ornate building provides the backdrop for the procession.
