Everyone here adopted this set of 4 vintage New Orleans dining placemats that feature a laminated depiction of the famous New Orleans French Quarter scene. The detailing and colors of the street scene are extremely strong, and it's a very realistic and vibrant depiction of life in the French Quarter. Each place mat has the Hedwin company mark and a 1966 copyright in the lower left corner, New Orleans, Louisiana in italics in the center, and artist Frederic Schuler Briggs in the lower right corner. The artist Frederic S. Briggs was elected in 1968 to the coveted American Watercolor Society and is an active member of the Baltimore Watercolor Society where he has twice been president. Mr. Briggs continues to teach at the Schuler School of Fine Art as well as the historic Hampton Mansion and other venues throughout the city of Baltimore. During the summer months, he conducts Watercolor Workshops and takes students on working art tours throughout Europe. The lamination of the placemats protects them and has ensured that they have remained in pristine condition, and they measure approximately 17.5" x 11.5" right out of a Baton Rouge, LA waterfront estate.
