EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926, presents a captivating scene of daily life in the historic French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America. The image features a woman, dressed in a simple, turn-of-the-century outfit, standing by the doorway of an old, weathered building. She holds a heavy sack in her arms, its contents concealed from view. The building's exterior, with its peeling paint, intricate brickwork, and ornate details, speaks to the rich architectural heritage of the city. The pavement in front of the building is worn and uneven, while the tire tracks on the street indicate the passage of vehicles. The woman's still figure, juxtaposed against the bustling city life in the background, adds a sense of stillness to the scene. The photograph, taken as a nitrate negative, captures the subtle textures and tonalities of the scene, transporting us back in time to the vibrant and eclectic atmosphere of the 1920s in the Southern United States.
