EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless charm of the French Quarter in New Orleans during the 1920s. Taken between 1920 and 1926 by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, the image showcases the intricate facade of a multi-story house, adorned with ornate balconies that once provided respite for residents during the sultry Southern summers. The building, with its weathered brick exterior and faded colors, exudes a sense of history and heritage, inviting us to imagine the lives of those who called it home. The photograph is part of Genthe's extensive collection of nitrate negatives, which capture the essence of America during the 20th century. This image, in particular, is a testament to the unique architectural features of the French Quarter, a neighborhood renowned for its vibrant history and distinctive buildings. The balconies, a quintessential feature of New Orleans' urban landscape, are a reminder of the city's rich cultural heritage, which continues to draw visitors from around the world. The Library of Congress, a premier cultural institution in the United States, holds this photograph in its vast collection of historical images. It serves as an important record of the past, providing us with a glimpse into a bygone era and offering a window into the history of America's diverse and complex urban landscapes.
