EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Plan of the city and suburbs of New Orleans, 1817" offers a captivating glimpse into the vibrant cityscape that existed over two centuries ago. Created by William Rollinson, this intricate map showcases the layout and architecture of one of America's most significant ports. New Orleans, with its deep connection to the Mississippi River, is depicted as a bustling metropolis in this print. The neoclassical facades of buildings and houses stand proudly against the backdrop of an expanding city. The aerial view allows us to appreciate the vastness and complexity of this southern territory. The map not only captures the physical landscape but also provides insight into the social fabric of antebellum Louisiana. It reveals suburban areas surrounding New Orleans, highlighting how housing extended beyond just the central city area. As we observe this piece from 1817 now housed at the New York Public Library, it serves as a window into history—a testament to American ingenuity and architectural prowess during that era. This hand-coloured engraving invites us to explore a world long gone while reminding us of New Orleans' enduring significance as both a port city and cultural hub within North America.
