Arnold Genthe: The Man Who Made His Own French Quarter

Fearful that the French Quarter would not survive a 1920s onslaught of demolition, a world-renowned photographer uses his craft as a tool for preservation. Exactly 100 years ago, German-American photographer Arnold Genthe published a book of black-and-white photographs called Impressions of Old New Orleans. Most were taken in the French Quarter. He had walked the streets of the Quarter – first in 1920, and then a second time, probably in 1924 – with his hand-held camera, taking scores and scores of photographs, 101 of which would eventually appear in his book.

Florestine Perrault Collins Passed for White to Learn the Trade, Then Ran a Black Portrait Studio in New Orleans for Twenty-Nine Years

Florestine Perrault was fourteen when she started earning money in photography, hired as a clerk, photo finisher, stationery embosser, and developer by white-owned studios in New Orleans and by the Eastman Kodak Company. She got that work by letting her employers assume she was white. She was Creole of color, and in Jim Crow New Orleans, that fact would have kept her away from the picture-making end of the business.

The show’s called “Waiting for Julieta” and it’s not especially faithful to the Bard’s script.
