BCD Tintern Show & Tell 7 DSC06713
The Salmon Academy 200pc jigsaw Haven shows a river or coastal village with small boats. It is cut in a lazy strip cut but still has the globular knobs. The box has an early design and 'A charming watercolour' description, with a small black & white guide picture on the front edge.
Above are the stacked the boxes of a small Tuck Popular in the wooden-patterned cardboard box and the box of the stunning Apollo Vera jigsaw, Van Gogh's Bridge at Arles. The little yellow box houses a promotional jigsaw for Watney's Brewery. It features 'The Finish of the Boat Race' on the Thames, with the Mortlake Brewery of Watney Combe & Reid.
At the top of the photo you can see a colourful 1000pc Vera Art Moderne showing fauvist painting Barges on the Seine by Maurice de Vlaminck. Unfortunately I failed to get a larger photo of the jigsaw, but you can see it better on its owner's photostream - follow the link below. Next to it are the guide picture and jigsaw of an antique puzzle showing Elsenburg on the River Wecht (?), a merchant's house near Amsterdam. The engraving is prior to 1750 and the guide photo has been mended with a piece of newspaper from 1887. The puzzle comrs in an oak sliding box.
On the right is a jigsaw of the event that initiated the tradition of the water parade of the Lord Mayor's Show in London. The event is most famously recorded in a painting by Canaletto in the 18thC, but ceased in 1856, when many of the barges were sold to Oxford University colleges and some still survive. The jigsaw was made by F Green, 6 Tennis Court, Millhope, Holborn. Disappearing of the right edge is what the owner believes to be an unrecognised 150pc AVN Jones South Africa Series jigsaw. A hand written title 'Tennis at Rondebush' (??) has been added to the rear of the box, whose label lists titles 1-12. Could this be the enigmatic 28 or 34 - or a prototype that didn't make the series?
