1924 Patio Royale by Sarrazin New Orleans Louisiana

There's something timeless about the hush of an old New Orleans courtyard, and this 1924 vintage postcard captures that feeling beautifully. In this Sarrazin sketch of Patio Royal, soft shadows fall across a graceful archway and the winding ironwork of a historic stair. Potted plants frame the path, adding a quiet elegance to the scene, and the artist’s cross-hatched lines lend texture and depth that seem to pull you right into the warm Louisiana air.

This wasn’t just any courtyard. Once the home of Paul Morphy, the legendary international chess champion, this French Quarter treasure later became the Patio Royal, an elegant tea room and restaurant where the echo of refined conversations must have mingled with the scent of strong coffee and magnolia blossoms. The scene captured here is the Driveway and Ancient Stairway, where generations passed beneath wrought-iron balconies and into New Orleans history.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful host or hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
