Pictorial plan of New Orleans French Quarter of Vieux Carre

Le Vieux Carre de la Nouvelle Orleans

DESCRIPTION: Very attractive lithographed pictorial map of the Vieux Carre (French Quarter) in New Orleans, Louisiana. Rolled with no folds. Barnes based the overall scope of her map and details on the walls surrounding the Vieux Carre on plans produced by surveyors Carlos Trudeau and Joseph Pilie from 1794 through 1808. Over this early framework Barnes has illustrated local architecture and history with elements of contemporary culture from the early 1940s .

The border is surrounded by vignettes of New Orleans and Louisiana history and culture as it existed in 1942 when Barnes created the map, as well as important key events such as two fires in 1788 and 1794 that destroyed many of the early wooden French structures in the city.
