Parker Puzzle - L'Offrande du berger

I swore I'd never buy another Parker Pastime, because they are so often damaged and difficult to repair. But I made an exception for this 1910 French Pastime Puzzle, because I have long admired it on The Jigasaurus.

 

360 pieces, with a beautiful cut, and none of the tab damage you get in American Parker Pastimes. The sepia/pastel colours are enhanced (for me!) by over a century of gentle fading. The artist is Francois Boucher (1703 - 1770).
