About this object
A photograph of Sheila Williams, the New Napier Carnival Queen, and the Carnival Princesses walking down a Napier street. The New Napier Carnival, held from 21 to 28 January 1933, celebrated the opening of Napier after the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake.
Sheila Williams is wearing a long pale dress covered in a fur trim cloak. The tassels of the cloak are tied at the front. She is wearing a crown. Her gloved left hand is raising the cloak at her left hip. The woman identified as G Williams who walks at her left hand side is wearing a large pale brimmed hat, gloves and a short sleeved dress. The women to Sheila Williams’ right, at the left of the image, are hardly discernible as the image is under exposed in this area. The group seem to be walking under a shop awning.
Photographer unknown.
