EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926, showcases the intricately designed Wall Tomb located in the historic St. Louis Cemetery in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America. The image transports us back to the 1920s, a time of change and progress in America. The mausoleum, with its ornate decorations and tall, imposing structure, stands as a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage and history. The Wall Tomb, a popular form of above-ground burial in New Orleans, is surrounded by other sepulchral monuments and gravestones, creating an outdoor museum of architectural and historical significance. The nitrate negative, which has been preserved in the Library of Congress, captures the tomb's intricate details, from the intricate carvings on the walls to the delicate patterns on the tombstone. The image, with its sepulchral atmosphere, invites us to reflect on the concept of death and the role that burial sites play in preserving the memories and stories of those who have passed. The Wall Tomb in St. Louis Cemetery, New Orleans, is not just a monument to the dead, but also a living testament to the city's unique history and architectural heritage.
