Mardi Gras ephemera An authentic piece of New Orleans Mardi Gras history—this original 1948 invitation from the Krewe of Alpheus announces their return to Carnival celebrations following World War II. Printed on aged paper with elegant script and a charming swan illustration, this invitation was for an event held at the Auditorium in New Orleans on February 5, 1948. The wording “returns to the Mardi Gras” adds historical significance, reflecting the revival of festivities after wartime interruptions.
