March 2018:

A detail of a collection of 8 or 9 small vintage jigsaws, all cut for charity by socialite Lady Beatrix Wilkinson. Her choices of image are diverse - something for everyone. She was cutting to raise money for The Children's Union, after WW1.

 

The swanky addresses listed are:

6 Duchess St, Portland Place, London W1

8 Queen Anne St, Cavendish Square, London W1 (Tel Langham 1540)

 

The titles I can see are:

124pc - A strange attack on the Night Mail on the Salisbury Road (a panther attack, top edge)

101pc - All dressed up - an' the button would go by Mabel Lucie Atwell, price 2s 6d.

70pc - ?

110pc The Greek Theatre at Taormuna, price 2s 6d

170pc The Wedding Day.
