EDITORS COMMENTS
At the Corner of Royal and Conti Streets, New Orleans: A Glimpse into the Past (1920-1926) This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926, transports us back in time to the vibrant and bustling streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, during the Roaring Twenties. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, offers a captivating glimpse into the daily life of this unique American city. The photograph depicts the corner of Royal and Conti Streets, where the architecture of the past meets the modern world. The grandiose buildings, adorned with intricate facades and lush greenery, stand proudly against the backdrop of the cityscape. Palm trees line the streets, their fronds swaying gently in the breeze, while the sun casts dappled shadows on the pavement. In the foreground, a car, a symbol of the modern age, sits parked on the curb, its sleek lines and gleaming surface a stark contrast to the historic surroundings. The image is a testament to the juxtaposition of old and new, nature and urbanization, and the enduring charm of New Orleans. Genthe's masterful use of light and shadow, coupled with his keen eye for detail, bring this scene to life. The nitrate negative, now preserved in the Library of Congress, offers a rare and precious window into the past, inviting us to explore the rich heritage of a bygone era.
