EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of New Orleans, circa 1905. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing pedestrians strolling along a dirt road while a horse-drawn carriage passes by. A young boy tips his hat in greeting, adding a touch of charm to this nostalgic scene. The architectural details are also noteworthy, with the prominent mansard roof dominating the skyline. This iconic feature is synonymous with American architecture during that period and adds character to the image. The empty street provides an eerie sense of stillness, inviting us to imagine what life was like in this vibrant city over a century ago. Preserved within this photograph is not just an image but also a piece of history frozen in time. It serves as a visual reminder of how much has changed since then and allows us to appreciate the progress made throughout North America. Displayed proudly on any wall or mantelpiece, this print from Jessie Tarbox Beals offers viewers an opportunity for reflection and appreciation for our shared heritage. With its timeless appeal and rich historical significance, it serves as both art and documentation - capturing the spirit of early 20th-century America for all who gaze upon it.
