EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'View from across street of a woman standing by a doorway in the French Quarter, New Orleans,' was captured by renowned 20th century photographer Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926. The image transports us back in time to the vibrant and eclectic streets of New Orleans during the Roaring Twenties. The woman in the photograph stands still by a doorway, her silhouette framed by the ornate architecture of the French Quarter. The buildings surrounding her, with their intricate details and faded colors, speak to the rich history and heritage of the city. The pavement beneath her feet is worn from the countless footsteps of those who have walked these streets before her. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling city street, with the sounds of laughter and conversation drifting through the air. The contrast between the woman's timeless presence and the hustle and bustle of daily life adds to the photograph's intrigue. This image, now held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the power of photography to capture a moment in time and preserve it for future generations. The use of a nitrate negative adds to the photograph's historical significance, as this photographic process was widely used during the early 20th century but has since been largely replaced by more modern methods. Arnold Genthe's 'View from across street of a woman standing by a doorway in the French Quarter, New Orleans' is a poignant reminder of the beauty and diversity of America's past, and a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations to enjoy.
