Taken around 1906, it showcases the grandeur of Rex, the King of Carnival, receiving the key to the city at City Hall.

The photograph highlights the magnificent architecture of City Hall with its impressive colonnade and pediment adorned with intricate details.

Spectators line up along the platform where Rex stands proudly in his chariot-like carriage, symbolizing his regal status. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we are reminded of how Mardi Gras has always been a time for celebration and recognition in New Orleans.
