New Orleans, 1951

We love the contrast between these two Charles Cushman photos of the French Quarter of New Orleans, both taken in December 1951. Above, one of the Pontalba Buildings, right across from Jackson Square; and below, the more run-down corner of Dauphine and St. Louis, just a few blocks away. What do you see here?

First of all, when he thinks he's going to hit the car in front of him, the driver takes his right hand off the wheel and puts it in front of his wife. My mother used to do this with me, back in the 1960s, when none of us wore a seatbelt, and dashboards were solid metal (n…
