The plates, each on rectos, show various Vieux Carre streetscapes, courtyards, buildings, etc., with their titles and brief explanatory captions on their opposing versos. Although his emphasis upon soft focus and shadow was similar to Arnold Genthe and the early work of Clarence John Laughlin, Delcroix's style remains wonderfully distinctive. However, despite his prominence, PATIOS, STAIRWAYS AND IRON-LACE BALCONIES remains the only publication specifically showcasing Delcroix's work. Description copyright David Hallinan, Bookseller.

Original Eugene A. Delcroix color image under glass. Original Delcroix studio muted gilt frame: approx. H 6.5 inches x L 5 inches (H 16.5cm x L 12.7cm). Visible image area: approx. H 5 inches x L 3.5 inches (approx. H 12.6cm x L 8.7cm). Image foreground of dimly lit interior vestibule with ajar right door of an iron gate leading to a sunlit exterior courtyard with several hand-colored compositional elements; Delcroix's two-line pencil-signed inscription "Delcroix | N.O. LA" written at image's bottom right. Original age-toned brown backing paper has some tearing but mostly intact with title and studio stock number "The Spanish Court. | #2017." handwritten in Delcroix's elegant black ink script near top center; $1.25 price in pencil at top left. Metal loop wall hanger present as well. Image has not been examined outside of the frame. 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.

Original Eugene A. Delcroix photograph with hand-tinted color in an original Delcroix studio gilt frame; faintly hand-signed in pencil "E. Delcroix | N.O. LA" within the image at lower right corner.
