EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Woman leaning on a balcony, New Orleans, between 1920 and 1926," is a stunning example of the timeless allure of the Crescent City during the Roaring Twenties. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, this image invites us to step back in time and experience the daily life of New Orleans in the early 20th century. The woman in the photograph, dressed in elegant attire, leans casually against the wrought-iron balcony railing, her gaze fixed on the bustling scene below. The balcony, adorned with intricate ironwork, overlooks a picturesque street lined with colorful townhouses, each boasting their unique architectural features. In the foreground, a laundry hanging out to dry adds a touch of domesticity to the scene, while shops and signs indicate the vibrant commercial activity that once thrived in this Southern town. The ironwork on the buildings, reminiscent of Italian designs, adds an air of sophistication and charm. This photograph, captured on a nitrate negative, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of New Orleans and the United States during the 1920s. The image, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and history of this iconic American city.
