| Description: This painting depicts New Orleans in 1803, when the city was acquired—along with much of the modern United States—as part of the Louisiana Purchase. It was known as the Crescent City because of the way it hugged a curved section of the Mississippi River. In 1803, New Orleans’s population was about 8,000, including 4,000 whites, 2,700 slaves, and about 1,300 free “persons of color.”
