EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926, offers a haunting glimpse into the historic St. Louis Cemetery in New Orleans, Louisiana, during the 1920s. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the rich heritage and history of this unique place. The cemetery, established in 1789, is one of the oldest in the United States and is renowned for its above-ground tombs and ornate gravestones. In this photograph, the brick walls and tombstones, some adorned with intricate designs and others weathered by time, create a striking contrast against the clear blue sky. The sun casts dappled shadows on the ground, adding depth and texture to the scene. The photograph was taken during the Twenties, a time of great change in American society. Yet, despite the passage of time, the cemetery remains a testament to the enduring nature of human life and the importance of preserving our heritage. The image is a still, yet powerful reminder of the continuity of life and death, and the role that cemeteries play in the cultural and historical fabric of our cities. Arnold Genthe, a renowned photographer, captured this moment using a nitrate negative, a photographic process that was popular during the early 20th century. The negative, now held at the Library of Congress, is a precious piece of American history, offering us a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and significance of our shared heritage.
