The focal point of this print is "The Custom-House" a magnificent building that stands proudly amidst a backdrop of other townhouses and dwellings. As we gaze upon this intricate illustration, we are transported to an era when government buildings were not only functional but also architectural marvels. The Custom-House exudes grandeur with its ornate details and imposing presence, reflecting the power and authority it held as a state institution. New Orleans itself comes alive through this image, showcasing its vibrant energy and rich history. This southern city was known for its unique blend of cultures, evident in the diverse architecture that surrounds The Custom-House. From quaint townhouses to stately homes, each structure tells a story of its own. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched onto the paper captures the essence of this bygone era. It is no wonder that this engraving was chosen to illustrate "The Southern States of North America" as it beautifully encapsulates the spirit and charm of New Orleans.
