Description

New Orleans French Quarter has more pieces of wrought iron and cast iron than anywhere else in the United States dating back to the 1850's. Blacksmiths, both free and slave, Europeans and Creoles all contributed to the everlasting beauty of iron balconies, as well as doors, windows, fences and gates. There is no place in the Vieux Carre one can go and not stop in awe at those who left such an indelible mark upon the area.

From romantic, lacy filigee to Fleur de Lis, from stylized crosses to curved waves and almost everything in between, one can enjoy the feel of almost stepping back in time with the quality and pride of the Blacksmiths of old and the hard word of hammering out the intricate designs from the intensely heated metal as they plied it into a multitude of shapes and designs.

The images one is left with as one strolsl about the Old City, last a lifetime. How often does one stand and just stare at the work displayed for all to see? How many photos are captured in a multitude of pictures taken throughout the decades, and changing little from one era to the next.

Here is an everlasting moment in time which has been captured and preserved for all to enjoy. Within these pages lay the essence of what makes New Orlean's French Quarter so unique to any and all who visit and who can now take a piece of it's enduring spirit with them.

About the Author
Hawks, Laura: - Ms. Hawks has always been interested in writing in some form or other as well as an amateur photographer. She has directed tours around the country and continues to do so to pay the bills. Maybe one day, she can travel for fun and let the books she writes pay the bills instead. She can only hope. A few years back, she received her Master's Degree in Ancient Civilizations, Native American History and United States History after wanting to pursue more historical information on the multitude of places she visited during her travel management career. She has currently published a number of fictional stories which include historical and cultural facts as part of the tales she weaves. She has also developed an increased awareness and appreciation for photography. Trying her hand at something slightly different, she has created a photo book on The Balconies of New Orleans. Ms. Hawks attends several conventions around the country.
