Photographer: Pstcard by New Orleans News Co.
Taken: Circa 1940
Caption: The French Market, New Orleans, La. Post-restoration.
Additional Description: The back of the postcard reads: The French Market extends four blocks, costing $30,000. It is the most remarkable and characteristic spot in New Orleans. Under its roof every language is spoken. The buyers are men and women of all races. The Gascon butchers, Moors, Italians and German vegetable women, Chinese, Hindus, Jews, Teutons, French and Creoles, Spanish and Malays, Irish and English, all uniting in a ceaseless babel of tongues that is simply bewildering.
