Bird's Eye View of New Orleans, Louisiana, showing the Crescent formed by the Mississippi River. View probably taken from atop or from a high story of the Grunewald building. View looks riverwards and slightly down river. Visible are a section of Canal Street with streetcars on the neutral ground, buildings fronting Canal on the downriver side of the 800 and 700 block, a portion of the 2nd Maison Blanche Building at left, the upper French Quarter with the high-rise Monteleone Hotel, and the Mississippi River curving around Algiers Point in the background. |
