Lof of Four Vintage Kodachrome 35mm Slides of the 1959 MAIFEST in Brenham, Texas

Description: Up for sale is a lot of four (4) Kodachrome 35 mm slides taken during the 1959 Maifest celebration in Brenham, Texas. This event, which is held annually on the first weekend in May, began in 1881 and celebrates Brenham's German-American heritage. The four slides that comprise this lot are shown in photos # 1 -4 of this listing and are described as follows:-Slide # 1: Shows a float (? with the Royal Court) with boy scouts walking along side. In the background is a hotel building. (NOTE: If you look carefully, you can see the letters "City of Brenham" on the side of the float.) -Slide # 2: Shows a group of young men in military attire and in formation. I suspect that this might be an ROTC group. The commander of the group is on their side.-Slide # 3: Shows a vintage automobile decorated with advertisements (possibly for one of the sponsors of the Maifest) with spectators and some persons whose slacks suggest that they may be part of a band.-Slide # 4: A group of riders mounted on horseback; they are wearing western outfits. I count all or portions of at least eight different horses. Please see above for full description of condition and for photos. The photos for this e-Bay listing were taken with a digital camera aimed at an Argus Slide Previewer. This has may have introduced some blurring of the original images, but the slides themselves appear to be sharply focused. (NOTE: The sale does NOT include the box shown in photo # 5. The photo of the box is included to document that these slides were taken of the 1959 Brenham Maifest.) Sold as is.
