The New Orleans of Lafcadio Hearn

For seven months in 1880, Lafcadio Hearn amused the readers of New Orleans with his wood-block 'cartoons' and accompanying articles, which were variously funny, scathing, surreal, political, whimsical, and moral. This book collects, for the first time, all of the extant satirical columns and woodcut illustrations published in the Daily City Item.
