John Churchill Chase

[1] Chase's chief character in his cartoons was "Mr. New Orleans" or "The Little Man", who was typically dressed in a 19th-century long coat with a top hat, bushy moustache and glasses.

This book went through several popular editions from the 1960s through 1997, and has gone on to be widely acclaimed as a great chronicling of the history of New Orleans through the naming of its streets.

In a departure from his usual work, in 1960 Chase produced a large "Transfiguration" in stained glass over the vestibule of St. Dominic Catholic Church in New Orleans.

[4] A small street in the New Orleans Central Business District was named "John Churchill Chase" after his death.

[5] This street runs perpendicular to the Mississippi River, through the New Orleans Warehouse District, about two blocks downriver (north, at this point) from the Crescent City Connection Bridge.
