EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Facade of a Multi-Story Building, New Orleans or Charleston, South Carolina, between 1920 and 1926," is a stunning example of American architecture from the Roaring Twenties. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, this image transports us back in time to the bustling streets of a Southern city, be it New Orleans, Louisiana, or Charleston, South Carolina. The multi-story building, with its intricate brick facade, stands proudly against the clear blue sky. The doors and windows, adorned with ornate details, invite us to imagine the daily life that once unfolded within. The pavement in front of the building is worn from the passage of countless feet, while the sidewalk is shaded by the overhanging eaves. The image, captured on nitrate negative film, showcases the rich textures and tones of the era. The contrast between the light and dark areas creates a sense of depth and dimension, making us feel as if we are truly standing on the street corner, taking in the sights and sounds of the city. This photograph, now part of the collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring heritage of American architecture and the daily life of the 1920s. The image invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and history that still exists in our cities today.
