I had no idea it would turn out to be a collector’s item in its own right, but it’s a c. 1940 print from inside a home on Toulouse St. by a New Orleans photographer named Eugene Delcroix, who continued using glass plate negatives and silver prints long after those things were considered outdated. His method (and his eye for detail) made his photos popular even overseas for a time. I love this particular print, even though it’s not one of his rarer or more valuable ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
