NOLA ‘Nacular presents The Society to Preserve the Art of Lester Carey

This book documents a portion of the vanishing culture of the art and profession of vernacular hand-painted signage in the commercial settings of the post-Katrina landscape within the African-American neighborhoods of New Orleans.

See New Orleans change through the brush strokes of local sign painter Lester Carey and the camera lens of Anthony DelRosario. Tour the corner stores where poboys and hot plates are sold with cold beer, wine, and liquor.
