(2.7) 3000 piece puzzle, "Adoration of the Magi," by unknown artist, Ravensburger, Germany.

Finis. An absolute masterpiece from Ravensburger, circa 1976. Everything one could want in a puzzle: bright colors, intricate details, a classic work of art but not so iconic that we see it everywhere. No areas of extreme monotony but not a cake walk, either. Will Ravensburger ever make a puzzle like this again?

 

Completed in 22 hrs., 42 mins. with no box reference. Actual piece count: 2,992 (44x68). 27.3 secs./piece; 131.8 pcs./hr. Difficulty rating: 2.7/10.

 

I am very excited to be back in my original territory: large, cardboard, classic fine art puzzles. While I have enjoyed my foray into wooden puzzles, mini pieces, etc., and will continue my discovery of these areas, I'll always have a soft spot for gems like this.
