{"product_id":"mardi-gras-treasures-9781565548756","title":"Mardi Gras Treasures","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe glimmering processions of the masked gods and bearded kings of New Orleans Carnival occupy a central position among the rites and glories of this great festival. The long succession of these glowing, torch-lit pageants--with their towering monsters and fantastic decors, their papier-m ch kingdoms and diamond-dust thrones--became the greatest and most beloved of New Orleans communal rituals. The fantastic parade floats of Carnival's Golden Age (1870-1930) illustrated themes drawn from mythology, epic literature, history, nature, and whimsy. Presented in this collection are thirty dazzling examples of original float designs as rendered in watercolor and lithographs--most of them reproduced here for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henri Schindler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49480937603368,"sku":"9781565548756","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/0138\/5256\/files\/9781565548756.jpg?v=1729038755","url":"https:\/\/www.arcadiapublishing.com\/products\/mardi-gras-treasures-9781565548756","provider":"Arcadia Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
