The late Lee Malone was a native New Orleanian whose love for the plantation homes of Louisiana led her to devote untold hours preparing this book.
Paul Malone, now deceased, was a critically acclaimed portrait photographer--a master in his field. He was the past president of the Professional Photographers of Louisiana and former member of the Professional Photographers of America and the American Society of Photographers. Paul and his wife, Lee, also collaborated on Louisiana Plantation Homes: A Return to Splendor, The Majesty of the Felicianas, The Majesty of the Garden District, and The Majesty of the River Road, all published by Pelican.
