| Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. We are indebted for certain of the photographs to the New Orleans Association of Commerce, the times-picayune, and the Historic Amer ican Buildings Survey. Most of the photographs, however, and all of the drawings are the work of staff artists and photographers. Although few cross-references have been used in the text, the detailed index should make it simple for the reader to find whatever he is looking for. |
