Image taken by Philadelphia Evening Bulletin photographer Charles T. Higgins.

While the Mummers New Year's parades date back to Philadelphia’s earliest days, the official parade began in 1901.  In this 1938 image, specatators are seen lined up on the sidewalks, cordoned off, to keep them safely out of the parade's path.
