Description

New Orleans, 1942: St. Joseph's Day revelers stop in neighborhood African American bar.

Original description: "Baby Doll celebration, a part of Mardi Gras in New Orleans Louisiana in 1942. Baby Doll celebration at Pete's Blue Heaven. The music box and tamourines are providing the music. Located at the corner of Poydras and S. Liberty Streets. "

Note: Contrary to the description, this was St. Joseph's Day, not actually Mardi Gras/Carnival season (which in 1942 climaxed and ended on Tuesday 17 February). Baby Dolls and "Mardi Gras Indians" would come out for significant but less elaborate festivities for St. Joseph's Day after the lull for Lent.
