4.0 out of 5 stars
Not your ordinary book of photographs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Elysium: A Gathering of Souls : New Orleans Cemeteries (Hardcover)
The ethereal infrared photography meshed with the insightful narrative is fascinating, not only for the art but for the history of New Orleans. As a genealogist, I am no stranger to learning from the dead. This book, however, teaches about a culture far removed from my North Carolina Scottish roots.
