FROM THE DUST JACKET FLAP: Rex, the King of Carnival, has ruled over and helped define Mardi Gras in New Orleans since 1872. Since that time, as Rex founders hoped, millions of visitors have witnessed the spectacle of the Rex Procession, the centerpiece of the Crescent City's unique and colorful Carnival celebration. The story of Rex's fanciful Carnival Kingdom -- its royalty and traditions, its Processions and Imperial Receptions, its crown jewels and rich art -- is a story best told in pictures. Rex: An illustrated History of the School of Design presents more than 250 images, most not previously published, to illuminate that visual history. . . . . . . . .
