Founded in 1886 and connected to Tulane University, the H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College was created as an institution to prepare women to be financially independent community leaders. In 1896, pottery was established as a separate, for-profit branch of the art department, quickly earning international acclaim for the striking variety of ceramics produced by talented young ladies under the direction of the Woodward brothers. The fruits of the art department also included calligraphy, textiles, jewelry, and other crafts. In this collection of beautifully photographed images resides a history of the artwork that established the Newcomb movement as one of critical artistic importance.
Chronicled in 150 photos from the collections housed in the Louisiana State Museum and the Newcomb Art Gallery at Tulane University, the images are presented with captions providing details on their origin and the date of creation. Devoid of commentary, the stark photos provide a clear record of the breadth of complexity and talent that defined the art of Newcomb College. From the most graceful of early Newcomb pieces awash in delicate hues of blue—with clear Art Nouveau influences—to the more modern pieces in natural and metallic tones that embrace the geometric trends of mid-twentieth century modernism, these images provide a stunning record of an astounding achievement by the women of Newcomb College.

FALL_2014.indd 5 5/23/2014 2:43:04 PM New Releases The Battle of New Orleans: But for a Piece of Wood By Ron Chapman What would have happened if the British won? The Battle of New Orleans was unknowingly fought after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, but the American victory had important consequences. This fascinating examination of the long campaign up the Mississippi River and the final battle of the War of 1812 details the high stakes and explores the true British motivation for their bloody offensive. They attacked to claim New Orleans for their Spanish allies, which would have voided the Louisiana Purchase, robbed the United States of a valuable port, and antagonized France, Britain’s ancient foe. The American forces—a disparate group under Gen. Andrew Jackson—could have been crushed, but for one British commander’s fatal error.
