EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of New Orleans in 1938. The focus is on the magnificent Upper Pontalba Building, situated at the bustling intersection of St. Peter and Chartres Streets, directly across from Jackson Square. The building's grandeur is evident in its intricate wrought iron balconies that adorn each floor, adding a touch of elegance to the cityscape. The corner location allows for an unobstructed view of both streets, showcasing the vibrant energy and charm of this historic neighborhood. Frances Benjamin Johnston expertly frames this early morning scene, capturing every detail with precision. From the storefronts lining the sidewalk to the ornate colonnade that graces one side of the building, each element tells a story about life in New Orleans during this time period. As you gaze upon this print, you can almost imagine yourself transported back to 1938 - feeling a warm breeze brush against your face as you stroll along these iconic streets. It serves as a reminder of how architecture has shaped not only cities but also our collective memory. This photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston is part of The Granger Collection's vast archive that celebrates artistry and history through visual storytelling.
