Description |
Scenes from Apple Blossom Festival 1927, including Handley High School participation. Queen Shenandoah IV (Isabella Tyson Gilpin) and retinue in orchard. From album, originals filed with collection. Two prints on same 8.5" x 11" page. Note: a rare shot with the Queen wearing the actual crown. It had real diamonds and was such a security risk that most of the time (including during the parade) she wore an elaborately beaded satin headdress. See Trail of Pink Petals, pp. 19-21. |
