SynopsisCalled "Edgar Allan Poe with a camera", Clarence John Laughlin (1905-1984) reveals New Orleans at its most brooding and mysterious in 69 never-before-published images. Compiled by the Historic New Orleans Collection, this volume brings together an eerie gallery of French Quarter facades, funerary sculpture, and other details that summon up the Acadian gothic described by six distinguished writers. 69 illustrations., Photographer Clarence John Laughlin (1905-1985) spen this entire career in and around New Orleans. Dubbed Edgar Allan Poe with a camera, his haunting images captured -- like nothing before or since -- the weathered elegance and dreamy decadence of Louisiana's homes, streets, and cemeteries. In 1948, his book on Louisiana plantation architecture, Ghosts Along the Mississippi, vaulted him into the pantheon of great American photographers -- and went on to sell an astounding 100,000 copies.This new volume, compiled by the Historic New Orleans Collection, brings together the best of the photographer's previously unpublishedimages -- an eerie gallery of French Quarter facades and ironwork, funerary sculpture, Spanish moss, and other details that summon up the Acadian gothic. With essay by six distinguished writers, Haunter of Ruins will be the only book currently available on this incomparable American original.
