Original Eugene A. Delcroix color image on a porcelain tile. Image dimensions within frame approximately H 10.5cm x L 7.75cm (approx. H 4 1/8 inches x L 3 inches). Original Delcroix studio muted gilt frame H 18cm x L 15.25cm (H 7 1/16 inches x L 5 15/16 inches). Image foreground of interior vestibule and shadow-laden right side of tall vase and base of staircase with mildly sunlit left side retreating to background of arched gated doorway which leads to an exterior patio; Delcroix's standard two-line signed inscription "E. Delcroix | N.O. LA" at bottom center. Original brown backing paper completely intact with title and inventory/print number "Interior, Patio Royal | #1974" at top followed by "Porcelain" at bottom all handwritten by Delcroix in black ink. Standard studio metal wire hanger present as well. Porcelain tile has not been examined outside of the frame. These Delcroix tile images are quite uncommon in comparison to his standard photo prints. With his stylistically unique images of the French Quarter and local environs, Eugene Delcroix is regarded as among the best of all photographers who practiced their craft in New Orleans, an illustrious group which includes Arnold Genthe, Joseph Woodson "Pops" Whitsell, and Clarence John Laughlin. After apprenticing with Anthony H. Hitchler and C. Bennette Moore, Delcroix operated his own studio from the 1930s to the 1960s. Although quite prolific with contract work for local government publications as well as studio and yearbook portraiture, Delcroix is best known as a pictorialist photographer as he successfully catered to the tourist market with carefully composed images deftly combining light, shadow, and soft focus in order to imbue a romantic haziness to his glass plate negatives thereafter using careful exposure times and soft color pastel tinting in the darkroom to enhance the final print's nostalgic and mysterious aura.
