EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Spanish Moss, New Orleans,' was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926. The image transports us back in time to the sultry, atmospheric streets of New Orleans during the Roaring Twenties in the United States. Genthe's composition masterfully showcases the iconic Southern landscape, with its grand, moss-draped oak trees standing proudly against the sky. The air is thick with the weight of Spanish moss, a unique epiphyte that thrives in the region's humid climate, creating a dreamlike, otherworldly effect. The moss, scientifically known as Tillandsia usneoides, clings to the branches like a delicate, ghostly veil, adding an ethereal quality to the scene. The photograph was taken during the 20th century, a time of great change and progress in America. Yet, the image remains rooted in the past, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage and natural beauty of New Orleans, Louisiana, and the United States as a whole. This image, captured on nitrate negative film, is part of the vast collection held by the Library of Congress. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the American South and the power of photography to transport us to another time and place.
