I Love Louisiana. Known for its culture, cuisine, and history, Louisiana is rich in French and Spanish influence. The 18th state in the union goes by a couple of names. It has been called the Bayou State because of the vast number of bayous, the Pelican State after the state bird and the Creole State which refers to its cultural heritage. Its also referred to as the birthplace of Jazz and is the only state that has parishes and not counties. Artist Lois Sutton brings Creole foods, river cruises, and the fun and fanfare that Bourbon Street and Mari Gras bring to you in this colorful 1000 piece collage style jigsaw puzzle. Finished size 24" x 30".
