DSC01774 Earlet Tuck ZagZaw WS Coleman adj
A detail of the earlet cut of the Tuck ZagZaw, 420pc - the image is a painting by WS Coleman, Little Fisher Maids.
The earlet cut has finely formed whimsies and interlocking pieces, joined by heart-shaped or earlet knobs.
I have seen three similar sized Tuck ZagZaws of this image for sale on UK ebay over the years, all of which are cut in the earlier push-fit style, with cells containing large whimsies.
William Stephen Coleman (1829–1904) was an English painter and book illustrator. His works have been used by many jigsaw cutters in the early 20th Century, particularly by the maker Tuck. His prints frequently appeared in Pears albums - these are the ones I know about that did:
1891 Oriental Colours; 1893 Goldfish; 1895 Flowers of the East; 1898 The Sunny South; 1902 Spring Blossoms; 1902 The Ferry; 1910 Butterlies.

Born at Horsham, Sussex, he was one of the 12 children of the surgeon William Thomas Coleman and his wife Henrietta Dendy.
Coleman was unsuccessful in a career as surgeon, and turned to natural history illustration. He painted in watercolour, mainly landscapes with figures, in a style with something in common with Birket Foster, and semi-classical figure subjects, related to those by Albert Joseph Moore. Coleman also executed etchings, occasionally worked in pastel, and painted in oil. He was a member of the original committee of management of the Dudley Gallery, contributing to the first exhibition in 1865 and continuing to exhibit till 1879. In 1869 Coleman began to experiment in pottery decoration; the Mintons Art Pottery Studio in Kensington Gore was established under his direction in 1871, and he executed figure designs for Mintons ceramic ware. He died after a long illness at 11 Hamilton Gardens, St. John's Wood, on 22 March 1904.
