The image is a vintage postcard depicting St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, the oldest cemetery in New Orleans.

It was established in 1789 by a royal decree from Spain.
The cemetery is known for its unique above-ground marble tombs, a common practice in New Orleans due to the high water table.
It is the final resting place of many notable figures, including the Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau and Homer Plessy.
The cemetery is located on Basin Street, just outside the French Quarter, and is only accessible via a guided tour.
