I’d like to add a couple of images to my earlier post about Cami, particularly since he’s now so obscure, and since so few images are available.  The first is a photo of the man himself, taken from a 1964 anthology of his work:

And the second is one of his cheerfully naive illustrations, taken from a rare copy of his novel Les Nouveaux Paysans (The New Peasants).  Here we see a conscientious farmer examining the teeth of one of his cattle.

    He has a great “turnout” in first position.
