New Orleans - Elegance and Decadence
Author(s): Randolph Delehanty (Text by); Richard Sexton (Photography)
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.
