Designed in our new, gatefold postcard book format, the collection of these stunning images of the Crescent City are the elegant antidote to the typical throwaway souvenirs This book of thirty evocative postcards capture how southern Louisiana's unique history has left its indelible mark on the magical city of New Orleans and the plantations of its outlying River Road. Showcasing the region's most enduring symbols - Mardi Gras pageantry, crumbling plantations, lush gardens, Creole interiors, legendary jazz halls, intricate personal altars, and the lacy iron balconies of the French Quarter - photographer Richard Sexton's images make redolent reminders of this one-of-a-kind place.

This review is from: New Orleans & the River Road: 30 Postcards (Cards)
I lived in New Orleans for three years and of all the picture books about the city, I actually found this set of postcards to be the most meaningful. After sending out a few of them I decided to buy another set just to keep as a book. The pictures are obviously focused on the "olden days" of Louisiana and New Orleans, but they really do evoke a lost world, a beautiful world - all the more beautiful for being immobilized and extracted from its true context of heat, violence and revelry.

The postcards are beautifully photograhed, and easily detachable. Very professional looking, and priced to sell! I will buy them again, when I am in need of more.
