With a unique concept to follow each year, krewes implement their themes through a variety of tangible materials \u2013 and, usually the more elaborate, the better, with virtually no expense spared. Doubloons, costumes, floats and invitations each serve as a creative outlet that set the tone for Mardi Gras celebrations year after year. Some of the traditions our culture revels in can be traced back to a few of the most notable krewes known for their themed parades, costumes and float designs. The artistry found in many of the krewes\u2019 ball invitations and costume designs draw on themes of history, mythology, politics, literature and nature. Considered one of the most prestigious Carnival organizations around, The Mistick Krewe of Comus laid the foundation for our modern-day celebrations of Mardi Gras with its formation in 1856, according to <em>Mardi Gras Treasures: Invitations of the Golden Age<\/em> by Henri Schindler. Eventually serving as a model for future krewes, Comus transformed the format of Mardi Gras parades with their organized, themed displays of opulence. Their collections undoubtedly represent much of the artwork associated with the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which was primarily Victorian Decorative Arts, the Arts and Crafts movement and Art Nouveau.<\/code><\/p>\n<p><code>These Krewe of Comus costume designs from their 1873 \"Missing Links\" parade are satirical depictions of relevant political figures of the Civil War era.<\/code><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prejeancreative.com\/pc_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Passionflower2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1660 aligncenter\" alt=\"Passionflower2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.prejeancreative.com\/pc_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Passionflower2-1024x353.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prejeancreative.com\/pc_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Passionflower2-1024x353.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.prejeancreative.com\/pc_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Passionflower2-300x103.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prejeancreative.com\/pc_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Passionflower2.jpg 1450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><em>(Images courtesy of Tulane University Digital Library, Carnival Collection)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><code>This Comus invitation from 1898 was one of the last displays of grand excess of ornament during the Gilded Age. <\/code><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prejeancreative.com\/pc_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Mistick_Krewe_of_Comus_invitation_1898-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1601 aligncenter\" alt=\"Mistick_Krewe_of_Comus_invitation_1898 (1)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.prejeancreative.com\/pc_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Mistick_Krewe_of_Comus_invitation_1898-1-138x150.jpg\" width=\"138\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><em>(Image courtesy of LSU Libraries, Special Collections)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><code>The Krewe of Rex has provided some elaborately themed invitations such as this Arabian Nights Tales from 1881.<\/code><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prejeancreative.com\/pc_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Open_invitation_back1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1709 aligncenter\" alt=\"Open_invitation_back\" src=\"http:\/\/www.prejeancreative.com\/pc_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Open_invitation_back1.jpg\" width=\"390\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prejeancreative.com\/pc_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Open_invitation_back1.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.prejeancreative.com\/pc_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Open_invitation_back1-300x114.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><\/a><em>(Images courtesy of LSU Libraries, Mardi Gras Collection)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><code>The throwing of doubloons during Mardi Gras has also become a time-honored expectation since the 1960s and for\u00a0<\/code><code>many this practice has become an enduring symbol of Mardi Gras.
