Mugnier’s work can be viewed as both aesthetic and historical documents of a period of Louisiana’s history marked by social, political, and economic change as seen in his images of patrician mansions, farm workers’ cabins, field hands cutting sugarcane on plantations in South Louisiana, cotton pickers in in the fields of North Louisiana, roustabouts moving cargo on the docks of Mississippi River wharves, and steam packets cramped along the levees of New Orleans.
