Attributed to Barthelemy Lafon (French/New Orleans, 1769-1820) , "Vue de L'habitation de M. Riviere Situee sur la Cote du Mississppi", c. 1800, ink and wash, laid paper, large fleur-de-lis watermark, applied paper border, with intricate depiction of main house, outbuildings, outdoor oven, slave quarters, bell, canal, and ferry, sheet 14 in. x 22 1/4 in., image 12 3/4 in. x 20 3/4 in., unframed. Note: In 1797, Lafon designed a grand house for Jean Baptiste Riviere on the corner of Bienville and Decatur Streets. This drawing appears to depict the Riviere Plantation on the west bank, just downriver from what is now known as the Harvey Canal. Early maps referred to the canal as “Riviere’s Canal.” Later maps referred to it as the “Gardere Canal.” The general layout of the plantation aligns reasonably closely with the layout shown on the Zimpel map of 1834. Genealogy of the Riviere family shows that Eliza Riviere, daughter of Jean Baptiste and the famed Madame Riviere, married Francois Gardere. Madame Riviere is listed throughout Grace King’s Creole Families and is mentioned often in the writings of Pontalba.
