Description

The luxurious, seductive, Old World elegance of New Orleans is gloriously revealed on this photographic tribute to the “Venice of North The united states.” Richard Sexton’s photographs capture balcony-lined streets, French-style parks, Caribbean-inspired gardens, and ornate public buildings, and take us inside one of the city’s such a lot intriguing private homes. This new edition marks the tenth anniversary with a new cover and binding, and an absolutely revised afterword.
“Rarely,” wrote The New Orleans Times-Picayune, “has the town been loved both so wisely and so well.” A tribute to an approach to life of insouciance and exuberance, touched by both spirituality and worldliness, New Orleans: Elegance and Decadence illuminates both the general public face and the personal soul of a perennially fascinating city. More than 200 full-color photographs and an insightful text capture the stories and characters of yore.
