EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the late 1930s, offers a glimpse into the historic charm of New Orleans, Louisiana. The image, titled "Le Petre, House of the Turk, Dauphine Street," showcases the intricate ironwork surrounding the galleries of buildings at the corner of Dauphine and Orleans streets. The French Quarter, a National Historic Landmark, is known for its unique architectural features, and this photograph beautifully highlights the ornate cast iron balconies that are synonymous with the district. Johnston's composition expertly frames the buildings, with their grand facades and intricate details, against the clear blue sky. The use of contrast in the image, with the dark ironwork contrasting against the lighter brick and stucco, adds depth and texture. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of New Orleans' architectural heritage, transporting us back in time to the thirties, a period of significant change and growth in American history. This photograph, part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to any collection of American architectural history or the history of New Orleans. The image is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that can be found in the United States, and the importance of preserving and celebrating our architectural past.
