Carnival. Nice 1950.
A heavily decorated parade float makes its way through the streets during the Carnival in Nice, 1950. Covered in a chaotic pattern of paint, the vehicle features a large question mark on its hood and a rearing papier-mâché horse at the front. Humorous hand-painted signs adorn the cabin, one declaring, "J'AI ENFIN UNE AUTO" ("I finally have a car"), and another warning, "DÉFENSE DE PARLEZ AU CHEVAL" ("Do not speak to the horse"). Costumed revellers ride atop the roof amid the festive clutter, as spectators line the street to watch the spectacle.
