Interior view of the "Cabildo," furnished with period furniture, including the
desk from the real Cabildo where the transfer
documents were signed (not, unfortunately, shown in this photograph). The large painting on the wall in the
left
of the photo is a painting by
Swedish artist Thure de Thulstrup depicting the transfer of Louisiana from France to the United States. The
painting now hangs in the Cabildo in New Orleans. (See the painting in color here.)
