| Summary: | John Gus Hines (b. 1844) designed and built Mardi Gras floats for several Mobile mystic societies. This Knights of Revelry float, which is called "The Dunce," was constructed for the parade called "The Seven Ages of Man." Hines drew several scenes, including children writing on a blackboard and seated at a bench, a child wearing a dunce cap and holding what appears to be a book, and a teacher standing at the front of the class with a map behind her. |
