The Historic New Orleans Collection, home to a vast array of historical decorative arts and situated in the Vieux Carré, is an ideal loca- tion for the exploration and examination of antiques. We look forward to hosting the New Orleans Antiques Forum for years to come, with new topics and speakers at each forum. This event has been in the works for several years, and we would not be here today were it not for the dedication and tireless efforts of many people, especially our generous sponsors. I wish to extend special thanks to L’Hermitage, Evergreen, and Whitney plantations for opening their doors for our pre-forum plantation tour, and to Eugene Cizek and Lloyd Sensat for providing history along the way. The tour sold out very quickly, so register early for next year’s optional trip. I am also grateful to our speakers and the institutions they represent; their support of this event is sincerely appreciated. In addition, I thank the antique shops who will stay open late on a Friday in August for our French Quarter Antiques Stroll, as well as those individuals who will open their homes to attendees on Saturday.

  • “If Music Be the Food of Love, Play On
    The Cup, the Cap and the Cupola Cupolas and coppolas can both be found atop domes, and in New Orleans they can also be found in the French Quarter (in more ways than one). In architecture, a cupola is itself a dome-like ornamental structure located on top of another larger dome or roof. It can be used as a “lookout” or to admit light and ventilation. This Italian word comes from the classical Latin word for a small cup, since this mini- dome resembles an upside down cup. Cupolas can be found positioned above the Cabildo, Presbytere and the Napoleon House. The Presbytere had a cupola just like the Cabildo until the hurricane of 1915. After over ninety years without bilateral symmetry, the Presbytere is back to normal (with a design by the architectural firm of Yeates & Yeates). The Presbytere in New Orleans, with its restored cupola The Italian word coppola is the name for the traditional cloth cap that can be seen worn on men’s “domes” back in Sicily in the film classic “The Godfather”. It is so appropriate that the movie’s director and part-time Quarterite is the acclaimed director and screenwriter, Francis Ford Coppola. Another French Quarter homeowner is his nephew, actor Nicolas Cage, nee Nicholas Kim Coppola. In 2007, Cage paid $3,450,000 for the famous LaLaurie mansion at 1140 Royal Street. Delphine LaLaurie (who first lived there in 1831) was infamous for her sadistic treatment of her slaves, and it is said that the home is haunted. Another Italian word for cupola (usually if a stair is involved) is belvedere, literally meaning a “beautiful view”.

  • A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo
    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo Chapter 1 Introduction This book is the result of research conducted for an exhibition on Louisiana history prepared by the Louisiana State Museum and presented within the walls of the historic Spanish Cabildo, constructed in the 1790s. All the words written for the exhibition script would not fit on those walls, however, so these pages augment that text. The exhibition presents a chronological and thematic view of Louisiana history from early contact between American Indians and Europeans through the era of Reconstruction. One of the main themes is the long history of ethnic and racial diversity that shaped Louisiana. Thus, the exhibition—and this book—are heavily social and economic, rather than political, in their subject matter. They incorporate the findings of the "new" social history to examine the everyday lives of "common folk" rather than concentrate solely upon the historical markers of "great white men." In this work I chose a topical, rather than a chronological, approach to Louisiana's history. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject such as recreation and leisure, disease and death, ethnicity and race, or education. In addition, individual chapters look at three major events in Louisiana history: the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Organization by topic allows the reader to peruse the entire work or look in depth only at subjects of special interest. For readers interested in learning even more about a particular topic, a list of additional readings follows each chapter. Before we journey into the social and economic past of Louisiana, let us look briefly at the state's political history.

    OFFICE OF THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF CULTURE, RECREATION & TOURISM Department Report 2016-2018 “It is with great pride and a full heart that I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as Louisiana’s 54th Lieutenant Governor. We have worked as a team to promote Louisiana to the world, and have led our great state to record-breaking success by introducing the “The Louisiana Experience”: all the unique things you can find in #OnlyLouisiana. There is something for everyone to experience in our state, whether it’s fishing our vast bodies of water, exploring one of our museums or state parks, visiting libraries, eating delicious Louisiana seafood, attending a festival, or learning about Louisiana’s history. Our food, music, arts, culture, history and, most importantly, our people are what make Louisiana special. Only in Louisiana can you “Feed Your Soul”. I am proud to lead the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, and extremely proud of the accomplishments made by this department.” ­ – Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser LOUISIANA SEAFOOD > The 2018 Louisiana Seafood Cook- off welcomed 21 chefs and restaurants from around the state who submitted videos talking about their love and experience cooking with Louisiana seafood. Last year’s event also saw record-breaking attendance of nearly 2,600 visitors. > In 2018, Lt. Governor Nungesser sent a letter to President Trump and the Congressional Delegation requesting they pass legislation that would impose a 0.10 cent per pound inspection fee on imported seafood into the United States to be utilized to improve seafood safety. The current tariffs that are in place are not significant enough to make an impact.

  • Report of the Director of the Mint
    Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1910 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE MINT. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, BUREAU OF THE MINT, Washington, January 6, 1911. SIR : In compliance with the provisions of section 343, Revised Stat­ utes of the United States, the following report covering the operations of the mints and assay offices of the United States during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1910, being the thirty-eighth annual report of the Director of the Mint, is respectfully, submitted: VOLUME OF COINAGE. The value of the coinage executed at the mints in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1910, was less than in the preceding year, and con­ siderably below the value of the gold deposits. The gold deposits in the fiscal year 1909 amounted to $142,124,941.59 and the gold coin­ age of that year was $120,399,953.35. The gold deposits in the fiscal year 1910 amounted to $126,767,967, and the gold coinage for the latter period was only $47,578,875. The principal reason for not doing more coinage was that automatic weighing machines were under construction which were expected to materially reduce the cost of weighing the individual coins, and pending their completion gold bulHon was allowed to accumulate. AUTOMATIC MACHINES. For a number of years the machine shop of the Philadelphia Mint had been at work developing an automatic weighing machine to do away with the hand weighing of each individual coin produced. The first machine was completed in 1907, was a success, and exhibited at the Jamestown Exposition. About that time, however, the experts who were engaged upon this machine were called upon to build a machine for the customs service, which they were successful in doing, but the task diverted them temporarily from the equipment of the mints.
