EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Oak Trees, New Orleans," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926. The image transports us back in time to the sultry, romantic atmosphere of the Southern United States during the 1920s. New Orleans, Louisiana, with its rich cultural heritage, is showcased in all its glory in this stunning image. Genthe's composition expertly frames a row of majestic oak trees, their gnarled branches adorned with lush, flowing strands of Spanish moss. The trees, standing tall against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, exude an air of resilience and serenity. The moss, a hallmark of the region, adds a touch of mystery and allure, creating a scene that is both enchanting and timeless. The photograph, taken as a nitrate negative, is a testament to the artist's mastery of the medium. The contrast between the dark, textured bark of the trees and the ethereal, white moss creates a stunning visual effect. The image, held in the prestigious Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to the heritage of American photography. The Oak Trees of New Orleans, as captured by Arnold Genthe, is a still image that speaks volumes about the beauty and allure of the American South during the 1920s. It invites us to pause and appreciate the simple, yet profound, wonders of nature.
