EDITORS COMMENTS
NEW ORLEANS: STATUE. The Margaret statue in New Orleans, Louisiana, stands as a timeless tribute to the remarkable philanthropist Margaret Haughery. Captured by renowned photographer Walker Evans in January 1936, this photograph immortalizes the grace and dignity of both the statue and its subject. Margaret Haughery was an extraordinary woman who dedicated her life to helping others during the 19th century. Her humanitarian efforts touched countless lives, particularly those affected by poverty and illness. This memorial serves as a powerful reminder of her unwavering commitment to making a difference. Evans' skillful composition captures every intricate detail of the statue with precision. The seated figure exudes strength and compassion, embodying Haughery's spirit perfectly. Placed on an elegant pedestal against New Orleans' charming backdrop, it becomes evident that this artwork holds great significance within its Southeastern community. The Granger Collection has expertly reproduced this iconic image for all to appreciate and admire. With their meticulous attention to detail, they have ensured that every nuance is faithfully preserved from Evans' original work. This print not only showcases historical significance but also serves as a testament to human resilience and kindness. It invites viewers into Margaret Haughery's world—a world where selflessness can transform lives—and encourages us all to embrace our own capacity for compassion.
