EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the charm and allure of Old New Orleans, as depicted in a cistern and outer stairs scene by renowned 20th-century photographer Arnold Genthe. Taken between 1920 and 1926, the image transports us back in time to the Southern city's rich heritage. The cistern, a large water storage container, is nestled in the heart of an old-time courtyard, its weathered surface reflecting the passage of time. The outer stairs, leading up to the second story of the building, are adorned with intricate wrought-iron detailing, a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The image, held in the Library of Congress, is a nitrate negative, adding to its historical significance. The city's unique architecture, a blend of European and African influences, is on full display, as the building's facade showcases the intricate details and colors that have come to define New Orleans. The image, taken during the 1920s, is a snapshot of a time when the city's vibrant culture was flourishing. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, capturing the essence of a place and a time that continues to captivate and inspire.
