EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Service Wings, New Orleans," was captured by renowned 20th-century photographer Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926. The image offers a glimpse into the architectural heritage of New Orleans, Louisiana, during the 1920s in the United States of America. The photograph showcases the exterior of a building, with its service wings extending out from the main dwelling. The wings, which appear to have been used as quarters for servants or support staff, are adorned with balconies, each one offering a view of the bustling city below. The building's facade is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of New Orleans, with its intricate details and ornate designs. Despite the grandeur of the building, the image also conveys a sense of poverty and struggle. The nitrate negatives used in the photograph have aged over time, adding to the image's overall texture and mood. The contrast between the white and black elements of the image, from the balconies to the building's walls, further emphasizes the stark divide between the haves and the have-nots during this period in American history. The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. holds this precious piece of history in its vast collection of still images, serving as an important reminder of the country's architectural and social past. Arnold Genthe's photograph of the Service Wings in New Orleans is a unique and poignant representation of the city's history and the era's socio-economic realities.
