EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling French market sidewalk scene in the waterfront of New Orleans, Louisiana, back in 1935. The creator of this remarkable piece is none other than renowned photographer Walker Evans. The image showcases the essence of America during the 1930s, with its vintage automobiles lining the streets and buildings that exude a sense of history. Evans' composition skillfully portrays the economic struggles faced by many during the Great Depression era. In this snapshot, we see a drug store and various shops along the sidewalk, highlighting both commerce and poverty existing side by side. The presence of nature adds an organic touch to this urban setting as plants grow amidst pavement cracks. The photograph's negative format enhances its timeless quality while offering a glimpse into our country's heritage art. Preserved within the Library of Congress archives, it serves as a visual testament to an important period in American history. As you gaze upon this still image frozen in time, let your imagination transport you to an era where trade and transportation were vital for survival. Experience the charm of Southern living through Evans' lens as he masterfully captures every detail on that New Orleans street corner over eight decades ago.
