EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of New Orleans in 1903. The image captures a stunning aerial view of the Central Business District, showcasing the heart of commerce and industry during this era. From atop the Hennen Building, we are granted a unique perspective as our gaze follows the mighty Mississippi River flowing gracefully towards the horizon. The cityscape is dotted with towering buildings that proudly display their architectural grandeur, symbolizing progress and prosperity. However, amidst this urban landscape lies evidence of early industrialization. Smokestacks release billowing plumes of smoke into the sky, hinting at pollution caused by burgeoning industries. This juxtaposition between progress and its environmental consequences serves as a reminder that even then, societal advancements came at a cost. The photograph's monochromatic tones add depth to its historical significance while capturing every intricate detail from rooftop to riverside. It transports us back to an exciting time when New Orleans was rapidly evolving into a major economic hub in Southeast America. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come since those turn-of-the-century days while appreciating both the achievements and challenges faced by cities like New Orleans throughout history.
