Title

May 3rd Constitution Day Parade (intersection of Piotrkowska and Narutowicza Streets) 1

Description

The 3rd of May National Holiday celebration. A formal procession complete with marching band makes its way along Piotrkowska Street. The year 1922 is embroidered on the banner of the National Workers' Party (a political party with anti-Semitic leanings). The photo captures a section of the parade moving past Narutowicza Street. Behind the crowd of Łódź residents one can see No. 54 Piotrowska Street, a corner building belonging to Fischer, with the barber Budziwski's signboard hung on the building's facade. Tram No. 14, running on a track to Bałuty Market, has come to a stop next to the procession.
