EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1910, showcases the iconic St. Louis Cathedral and Andrew Jackson Monument in New Orleans, Louisiana. The image, from an unknown photographer, transports us back in time to the early 20th century. The St. Louis Cathedral, a National Historic Landmark, stands proudly in the background, its Gothic Revival architecture a testament to the rich cultural heritage of New Orleans and its deep-rooted Christian history. The cathedral, which has been the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans since its founding in 1720, is a beacon of faith and spirituality. In the foreground, General Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States, is depicted on horseback, paying homage to the city that played a pivotal role in his military career. Jackson's victory in the Battle of New Orleans in 1815, which took place just outside the city, secured his place in American history. The monument, erected in 1856, is a tribute to his military prowess and enduring legacy. The photograph, captured on a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, offers a unique perspective of this historic plaza, with the cathedral and monument framed by lush greenery and the clear blue sky. The image, held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable piece of American history, a snapshot of a bygone era that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
