This guidebook was published by T. Fitzwilliam & Company in New Orleans. It features 3 small maps (10.2 x 8.8") of the city at the front of the volume including: A Map of the City of New Orleans 1897; Map of New Orleans - from Claiborne Avenue to the River, and from Lee Circle to Esplanade Avenue; and New Orleans in 1798. The 112-page text entices the reader about the city's unique charm including: "It is early in the morning, late in the season, and young in the year; it is the time of all times when this old, half-French, half-Spanish town of ours, with her beautiful women and foreign ways, her odd, grim houses, and lovely rose gardens, pink and bloomy, is at her best." Text is filled with related illustrations of the sites in the city not to be missed. Third edition. Pictorial paper covers.
