EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'View from across street of two children standing in a doorway in the French Quarter, New Orleans,' was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926. The image presents a captivating glimpse into the daily life of the French Quarter during the 1920s in the United States. The photograph showcases two children, one boy and one girl, standing in the doorway of a building, their curious gazes fixed on the bustling street activity before them. The architectural beauty of the French Quarter is evident in the background, with intricately designed balconies adorned with ornate railings, and the facade of the building displaying a rich tapestry of colors and textures. The image is a testament to the unique charm of New Orleans, a city steeped in history and heritage. The children's attire, the old buildings, and the absence of modern conveniences all contribute to the timeless quality of the photograph. The image is particularly noteworthy as it was captured on nitrate negatives, a photographic process that was popular during the early 20th century but has since been largely replaced by more modern techniques. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a repository of invaluable historical and cultural materials. It is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple joys of daily life could be found in the most unexpected places.
