Old Photographs | Lake Excursion This 5×7 dry plate image appears to be a summer parade, probably the 4th of July, marching down a dirt street somewhere in small town USA. From the dress of the band and the onlookers, the image was captured sometime in the early 1900s with an Imperial Junior 5×7 Dry Plate camera. Also, notice the horses hitched to a wagon near the windmill. From the other pictures in the box of dry plates, the town is likely in the upper Midwest like Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Michigan.
