Cajun Primitives Notecards [With 8 Envelopes and Folder] (Novelty) (ISBN-13: 9781565546493)

Mary Anne Pecot de Boisblanc has produced a
stunning set of notecards featuring full-color reproductions of her native folk
art depicting Louisiana's Cajun French life and culture, both past and present.
Called sophisticated primitive by art experts, Mrs. de Boisblanc's
style combines simple figures with vivid color.
Depicted are four authentic scenes: Griller le Caf (Parching
the Coffee), La Roulaison (The Sugarcane Harvest), Le Charivari
(A Cajun Wedding Serenade), and Le Canot d'Huitre (The Oyster Lugger).

Inez Robichaux Pecot provides the vivid stories, in both English and
French, of the scenes on the backs of the cards. These colorful stories feature
not only the well-known Cajuns, but a melange of grisly breeds,
presumably descendants of Jean Lafitte's pirates, as well. They also
reveal how pranksters tied cow bells to the nuptial bed springs.
With Cajun Primitives Notecards, it is quite easy to see just how
hard working and fun loving Cajuns really are!
