Pictorial guide to the nine structures that house the Historic New Orleans Collection. Illustrations depict the fine old buildings, courtyards, flagstones, carriageways, galleries, and the alluring presence of history. Artist Jim Blanchard, known for his architectural drawings, provided watercolors of each building and a map of the Royal Street complex. The guide includes photographs of architectural elements and several interiors by Richard Sexton, whose work illustrated New Elegance and Decadence. This publication, with soft cover and color illustrations throughout, was designed by Michael Ledet.
