Item description from seller

Original Eugene A. Delcroix photograph on porcelain tile with hand-tinted color in an original Delcroix gilt studio frame; photographer's ink inscription "E Delcroix | N.O. LA" written within image at bottom center. Backing paper of frame torn with relatively modern clear broad strapping tape moderately securing the porcelain tile within the frame. Albeit now under the tape, the backing paper retains two-line handwritten ink inscription at top "Interior, Patio Royal | #1974" (the latter being a studio stock number) followed by "Porcelain" written at bottom. Frame: approx. H 24cm x L 19.25cm. Image: approx. H 16.5cm x L 11.5cm. Photograph has not been examined outside of the frame. These Delcroix tile images are uncommon. With his stylistically unique pictorialist 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, Clarence John Laughlin, and C. Bennette Moore. Delcroix deftly combined shadow, composition, and soft focus to create 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.
