A view from a souvenir booklet dated 1906.  According to the caption in the booklet, we are looking downtown (downriver) on N. Rampart St., probably somewhere between Canal and Esplanade.  However, this looks more like Esplanade Ave. than Rampart St.  The second picture is a closeup detail showing the streetcar, number 103.  This car was one of the 66-115 group ordered by New Orleans Traction Co. in February 1894 from the J. G. Brill Co.  It could have been working the Esplanade Belt or the Dauphine Line. — J. Murray Jordan/F. M. Kirby
