EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Service Wings, New Orleans,' was captured by renowned 20th century photographer Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926. The image presents a striking architectural scene in the heart of the American South, specifically in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America. The photograph captures the exterior of a grand old building, its service wings extending out to the side, adorned with intricate balconies and ornate architectural details. The building's facade, a testament to the rich heritage of the city, is a beautiful blend of white and black, with the contrasting textures of the brickwork and the smooth plaster creating a visually captivating effect. The image also reveals a glimpse into the past, with goats grazing in the courtyard below the service wings. This scene underscores the poverty and simplicity that once existed in the servants' quarters of such grand dwellings. The goats, a common sight in the poorer quarters of the city during that era, add an authentic touch to the image, making it a poignant reminder of a bygone era. The photograph, part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, is a nitrate negative, adding to its historical significance. The image has been preserved for future generations, allowing us to appreciate the architectural beauty and social history of New Orleans during the 1920s.
