IT IS not intended 4iat this little 
 Dook of sketches be a complete 
 record of me many quaint and 
 historical streets and buildings of 
 tne old Mew Orleans. Indeed, 
 however interesting ma^) be me 
 subject of one sketch, mere is 
 always another just as interesting 
 around the corner, across {he street, 
 or in the courtyard. Rambling 
 down the street in distant per- 
 spective, there are dainty cornices, 
 quaint dormer windows, over- 
 hanging balconies and lace-like iron 
 work without end. The guide 
 books will locate many of these, 
 and in the old book shops and 
 among well preserved records you 
 will find 4ieir history). 
 
 It is the hope that these 
 sketches, made here and there, ma^) 
 serve merely as a means of bringing 
 back to memory the charm of the 
 old city whose builders designed so 
 well and whose people bequeathed 
 to us the history of a life 4iat was 
 always interesting and colorful and 
 full of action.
