Rex is Latin for 'king', and Rex reigns as \"The King of Carnival\".\u003cbr\u003eRex was organized by New Orleans businessmen in part to put on a spectacle in honour of the New Orleans visit of Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich of Russia (remembered locally as \"Grand Duke Alexis\") during the 1872 Carnival season. Also in the minds of the founders of Rex was the desire to lure tourism and business to New Orleans in the years after the American Civil War.\u003cbr\u003eRex assembles floats using techniques that have spanned generations, entirely by hand. Contrary to popular belief, Rex floats are not built over Civil War-era cotton wagons; they are instead built on wagons formerly employed by the City of New Orleans to collect refuse in the late 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Papermaple Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46166437167257,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0448\/3494\/7225\/files\/PAPERMAPLECATALOGREXANKLEPANT1of8.png?v=1771196079","url":"https:\/\/patterns.papermaplestudio.com\/products\/the-rex-pants-pattern-gathered-ankle","provider":"Papermaple Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
