Postcards New Orleans Spanish Arch Patio, Brulatour Courtyard, Broussard's Restaurant (1939-40's)

By: N/A

Price: $15.00

Publisher: New Orleans, LA, A. Hirschwitz; New Orleans News: 1939-1940's

Seller ID: 2079

Condition: Very Good condition

Three colorful, crisp linen postcards each showing a different New Orleans scene. The one featuring Broussard's Paradise Courtyard Restaurant is the most interesting not only because it has a dated postmark for 1939, but because it was hand written by J.C. Broussard who was engaged in a little marketing. The message reads "While in N.O. enjoy a delicious French meal at Broussard's famous reastaurant. J.C. Broussard." It was sent to Miss Harriet Stone of Wooster, Ohio. The other two cards (Spanish Arch Patio and Brulatour Courtyard) are likewise nice -- one has not been used, the other shows a...

Menu The Court of Two Sisters, New Orleans 1966

By: N/A

Price: $20.00

Publisher: New Orleans, The Court of Two sisters: 1966

Seller ID: 2974

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Fine condition

This is the prettiest menu cover for dining in a New Orleans courtyard. It catches both the ambiance and the restaurant noted for its mint juleps. In fact, it was those mint juleps that gave me the date of this menu -- in a way. Back then a mint julep cost considerably more than a martini which was 95 cents, so I thought I'd see when martinis were this price. As luck would have it the article I found was about martinis vs. juleps at Sisters -- and THERE was the answer! The menu is lengthy,bright and clean. It measures 9-3/4" x 12-3/4".

The rounded doors and courtyards of New Orleans make very pretty postcards. These two are very clean. The one with the yellow doors shows the Louisiana State Museum in New Orleans. It has not been used. The date I affixed to the pair is the result of the second card which shows Old French Courtyard, New Orleans. That one was sent to a Mrs. M.C. Binkley of Washington, D.C. and postmarked on April 7, 1956. Both cards will arrive in its own brand new plastic sleeve.

Seller ID: 3009

Binding: Disbound

Condition: Articles Very Good Condition

I found these disbound articles in a box of Architectual Review Magazines which I bought at auction. I almost tossed them out until I realized how worthy they are. Each of the 24 focuses on a particular area within a state located anywhere in the country. They all derived from American Preservation magazine, so the color photographs are stunning. Each article is pretty long with many images. I wish I had more room to show them. Areas are these: New Orleans Lower Garden District; Providence, Rhode Island; Salem Massachusetts; Eutaw, Alabama's Greek Revival Architecture; Galveston, Texas; Mizner...

Publisher: Chicago, Metropolitan Syndicate Press: 1904

Seller ID: 3122

Binding: Soft cover

Condition: Good

The cover of this desirable booklet shows light freckling around the edges and a one inch loss of paper to the top of spine. The latter I covered with archival tape which doesn't brown and will keep the damage contained. The photographs are wonderful -- over 200 views and scenes. It says also on the front cover that there's to be a map too, but I don't have one. With the map and none of the problems mentioned it would have been twice the price. Booklet measures 5-1/4" x 7-1/4" and is clean and tightly bound. Among the highlights are palaces, pavilions for countries, animals, the Great Siberian...

The Story of Spanish Moss and The Wax Tree Louisiana's Forgotten Product (Sample of Spanish Moss Laid-in)

By: Martinez, Raymond J.; Holmes, Jack D.L.

Price: $28.00

Publisher: Jefferson, Louisiana, Hope Publications: No date stated

Seller ID: 3705

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Very good condition

I had one of these before, but it didn't have what this one has -- a sizable amount of Spanish moss inside a cello bag. It lays totally flat so can be inside without damage. The booklet has two authors -- Martinez wrote about the Spanish moss and Holmes about the forgotten Wax Tree. Very interesting and in nice condition. The only fault is faint foxing to the inside of the covers, front and back, and the next page of both. I took a photo of it, but it's really quite light. Booklet measures 5-1/2" x 8-1/2 and has 31 pages. [ AG./ NAT. HIST. ]
