New Orleans Photograph, Eugene A. Delcroix. Image size: 13.5 x 10.25 inches. Eugene A. Delcroix (often mistaken for “Delacroix”) was born in New Orleans in 1891. Delcroix photographed scenes from the French Quarter and Louisiana swamps. Tourists bought his art photographs as souvenirs. Despite the common market for his photographs, Delcroix was internationally known. Considered “a master of composition and light,” Delcroix exhibited his work in Tokyo and London. In 1938, he and Stanley Clisby Arthur wrote Patios, Stairways and Iron Lace Balconies of Old New Orleans. That same year, a portfolio of his work appeared in the April edition of Pencil Points magazine. Delcroix also served as president and judge of the Orleans Camera Club. He died on April 10, 1967. Today, several examples of Eugene Delcroix’s work can be accessed in the Historic New Orleans Collection and the Louisiana Digital Library.
