Two closer views of the ornate fountain in the Canal Street neutral ground at the Camp/Chartres intersection, seen also in Pictures 46, 47, 62, 64, and 65.  The first is from an 1893 magazine engraving, with the caption “Canal Street Fountain.”  The second is from a stereocard; on the back of the card, in an apprarently contemporary hand, is written “Fountain on Canal Street New Orleans”.  In the second picture, the fountain appears to be used to display advertising.  For example, the front center panel reads “E. A. Tyler Watches & Jewelry 115 Canal St.”  Also, there are at least two columns of signs under the dome carrying more advertising.  Both views are toward the river.  The fountain is not centered in the neutral ground.  On our left, the downtown side of the street, we can see a track on each side of a line of trees.  To our right is another track, the outer riverbound track.  Unfortunately, we cannot see through the fountain structure to determine whether there is a horsecar turntable on the other side, but since the line of trees to the right (on the uptown side) seems to be missing in the second picture, the turntable is probably there. — Scribner's Monthly, v. 7, no. 2, December 1873, p. 141.
