Mardi Gras,1956
…is captured in rare and historic film and still photographs from New Orleans Mardi Gras, 1956:
Artist Mar Dore stumbled on a box of slides in her family’s home in Texas a few years back, and inside, discovered photographs that her father, John Mizenko, took of the parades back in the era of “Mad Men.” That box of slides was like a time capsule, Mar says, and opened a door into history—the history of New Orleans, and of her own family.
I do love a parade and there is nothing like a Mardi Gras parade. Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!
