Photograph of crowds gathered around a man dressed as a dragon during the Chinese New Year Celebration, Chinatown, 1920-1929. At center, a man can be seen wearing a decorative Chinese dragon head over his body. The body of the costume consists of elaborate patterns and cloths. Two men can be seen holding the tail of the costume so that it does not drag along the floor. Around the dragon, a large group of men and women can be seen watching the event. To the left of the dragon, a series of tables can be seen stacked on one another. On each table, a wooden chair has been placed. A single man stands below one of the tables and faces towards the demonstration.
