Additional Information
Taken by noted German-born American photographer Arnold Genthe this image of New Orleans captures the city in a period of significant growth and transformation. New Orleans was the third largest city in the American South until World War II and bears one of the most distinct cultures, and was established as a French colony in 1718. The distinctive blend of indigenous and French-Canadian residents created one of the most unique heritages of any American city, and New Orleans remains one of the most iconic places in the United States as well as an important port at the delta of the Mississippi River.
Genthe is most well known for his photographs of San Francisco, where he lived during the early parts of the twentieth century, though his style and aesthetic are on full display with this photograph that features a distinctive flourish provided by the textures of the lace over the classic architecture of the city. Genthe's photos of San Francisco's Chinatown are the only remaining images following the destruction of the neighborhood during the 1906 earthquake. Genthe would go on to produce portraits of United States Presidents, including Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Wilson, as well as John D. Rockefeller.
By the time of this publication, in 1920, New Orleans was a bustling metropolis and economic hub for the region and was the home to numerous cultural milestones, including the reputation as the birthplace of jazz. This historic photograph immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond to the past.
