Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. The lush, seductive, Old World elegance of New Orleans is gloriously revealed in this photographic tribute to the 'Venice of North America. ' Richard Sexton's photographs capture balcony-lined streets, French-style parks, Caribbean-inspired gardens, and ornate public buildings, and take us inside some of the city's most intriguing private homes. This new edition marks the tenth anniversary with a new cover and binding, and a fully revised afterword. 'Rarely, ' wrote 'The New Orleans Times-Picayune, ' 'has the city been loved both so wisely and so well. ' A tribute to a lifestyle of insouciance and exuberance, touched by both spirituality and worldliness, 'New Orleans: Elegance and Decadence' illuminates both the public face and the private soul of a perennially fascinating city. More than 200 full-color photographs and an insightful text capture the stories and characters of yore. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.
