EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Walker Evans showcases the exquisite architectural details of New Orleans in 1936. The image focuses on a house near Lee Circle on Saint Charles Avenue, highlighting the intricate cast iron grillwork that adorns its balconies and windows. With its timeless beauty, this photograph captures the essence of American heritage art. Evans' composition transports us back to an era marked by economic struggles, as it was taken during the Great Depression. As part of his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Evans documented various aspects of American life during this challenging time. Through his lens, he immortalized not only buildings but also the spirit and resilience of a nation. The negative used to create this print is now housed in the Library of Congress, serving as a testament to Evans' contribution to photography and historical preservation. This still image allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and simplicity found in New Orleans architecture while offering insight into America's past. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded that even amidst hardship, beauty can be found in unexpected places. It serves as a reminder that architecture has always been more than just bricks and mortar; it reflects our history, culture, and identity as a country.
