EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Courtyard with Cistern,' captures the essence of New Orleans in the 1920s as documented by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe. The image, taken between 1920 and 1926, showcases a courtyard of a building located in the heart of the city. The architectural feature at the center of the scene is a large, ornate cistern, a testament to the city's rich history and unique building techniques. The photograph is a nitrate negative, a common medium for film photography during the 20th century. The image is filled with intricate details, from the delicate balconies adorning the building's facade to the textured brickwork and intricate ironwork. The contrast between the dark, shadowy corners of the courtyard and the bright sunlight filtering through the trees adds depth and dimension to the scene. The photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable piece of American heritage art. It transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the charm and character of New Orleans during the 1920s. The image is a reminder of the city's unique architectural heritage and its enduring allure, making it an essential addition to any collection of American photography from the 20th century.
