Mardi Gras Treasures: Invitations of the Golden Age. by Henri Schindler, Pelican Press, 2000
The Golden Age of New Orleans Carnival was ablaze with fantastic, torch-lit processions and opulent tableau balls. While the mysterious parades were public, the fabulous balls were private, and invitations to them were coveted. Ball invitations, dance cards, and admit cards reflected exalted themes drawn from mythology, epic literature, religion, and whimsy. Mardi Gras artist, designer, and historian Henri Schindler presents dazzling examples of that artistry -- drawn largely from the holdings of Special Collections -- masterworks of design and lithography, most of them reproduced here for the first time.
