- Summary:
- This volume celebrates the only visit by a French Impressionist to the United States. When Edgar Degas arrived in New Orleans, it was both a homecoming to the city where his mother's family settled, and an exotic sojourn in the land of cotton and steamboats. This book presents penetrating portraits of Degas's family and his paintings alongside family letters, documents, heirlooms, and vintage photographs to illuminate this unique era in art and history.

- Catalog of an exhibition organized by the New Orleans Museum of Art, in conjunction with Ordrupgaard, held in New Orleans May 1-August 29, 1999, and in Copenhagen September 16-November 28, 1999.
