Esmeralda Among the Tombs – 4x6" Matted Photograph (Signed Mat)

Captured in the quiet corners of St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, this photograph features Esmeralda—the real-life cemetery cat who inspired a children’s book and captured the hearts of many visitors. Taken by New Orleans author and photographer Patrick Caldwell in 2022, this image offers a rare glimpse of Esmeralda in her natural element—graceful, mysterious, and perfectly at home among the tombs.

Printed at 4x6" and matted for easy framing, each photograph includes the artist’s signature on the mat (print itself unsigned). A soulful tribute to one of New Orleans’ most beloved local legends.
