Synopsis
A heritage crafted of elegance and strength. The wrought and cast ironwork of New Orleans is lauded worldwide for its intricacy and timelessness. Generations of artisans have labored to create the unyielding filigrees that guard windows, doors, and, gardens. Now, award-winning author Kit Wohl eloquently marries her passions for art, photography, and metalwork in this stunning tour of Crescent City craftsmanship. Graced with photographs of the city's most famed works, histories of each piece and its location transport readers on a journey of elegance and beauty. From the famous cornstalk fence to the storied splendor of the Pontalba Buildings, these vignettes illuminate New Orleans's rich artistic legacy., Of the many striking architectural details of the buildings in the Crescent City, the ironwork stands above the rest. These helical bars are inextricably intertwined with the city's history, weaving a pattern of indelible grace and strength. Cornstalks, ivy, grape vines, rose clusters, and fleur-de-lis adorn façades and property. As decoration, personalization, and protection, these wrought filigrees bind together three hundred years of crafted heritage. Explore stunning examples of wrought and cast iron from St. Louis Cathedral in the heart of the Vieux Carré to Colonel Short's Villa in the Garden District. The craftsmanship, history, and residents of each building provide a tantalizing background for any viewer or at-home reader. This reconnoiter of New Orleans' vibrant heritage--still thriving today--is a physical testament to mankind's five-thousand-year relationship with iron.
