Currier & Ives look down on New Orleans in 1885, with steamboats lining the Mississippi and Lake Pontchartrain shining far beyond the rooftops, and an old street map of the city inside. Founded in 1718, the city still keeps the original street grid of its French Quarter. For someone who loves New Orleans, or is about to move there.
