Carnival. Nice 1950.

During the Nice Carnival in 1950, a low-angle photograph captures a chaotic parade scene focused on an elaborate, multi-level float designed as a train car. On its upper deck, figures in large, grotesque papier-mâché masks with exaggerated features wave from the "windows," one raising a bottle. Below, a row of women in matching shiny dresses stand, appearing to sing or cheer. The perspective is from within the crowd, with the back of a spectator’s head, featuring a cap and a long braid, in the foreground.
