OverviewIn New Orleans, the Cities of the Dead are beautiful, historic places to roam. The styles and sculptures decorating the crypts and mausoleums often reflect activities the interred individuals pursued during their lives. Flowers, mementos, and decorative elements added to the gravesites make every visit moving. Tours and self-guided journeys through the cemeteries add a new angle to the many sights in New Orleans. Although the mausoleums are fascinating, living history waits around every corner of this venerable and historic city. Every street pulses with its own type of nightlife. Visitors to the American South can expand their knowledge base with an artist's view of the city of New Orleans and its Cities of the Dead. The color photos in this collection were taken at Greenwood Cemetery & Mausoleum, St. Louis Cemetery No. 2, and Saint Patrick Cemetery No. 2. They have been paired with titles that evoke the atmosphere of the Necropolises of New Orleans II. In the Travel Photo Art series, traditional tourism panoramas mix with arthouse aesthetics. These slim, intense productions are your passport to new perspectives on famous places. Peer around corners and discover a unique way to interact with monuments and memorials you thought you knew. This popular series includes titles that mix text with the pictures. Books like Notre Dame Cathedral: Our Lady of Paris, featuring photos taken months before the 2019 fire, become keepsakes associated with a specific site. Titles like Lidice Lives and Terezin and Theresienstadt are deeply meaningful for families touched by the Holocaust. Laine Cunningham, a three-time recipient of The Hackney Award, writes fiction that takes readers around the world.
