This was the first of two double-jigsaw lots that concluded the auction. These two are both Pears images:
This is A Healthy Appetite (aka A Hearty Appetite) by WD Sadler, which shows an 18th-19thC man relishing carving a joint of meat at a simple kitchen table covered in a white cloth. A slightly angular push-fit jigsaw.
The other jigsaw is Impudent Hussies by Mary Groves (1902 painting) shows a trio of gaily dressed young women being observed sourly by a man in the sober costume of a 17thC Puritan.
Dave Cooper, cutter, enthusiast and former owner of the British Jigsaw Library, passed away this summer and his most prestigious jigsaws were auctioned at the November 2019 BCD Meeting. 31 puzzles formed 28 lots - all of which were sold. Tom Tyler was the auctioneer and overseas and absent members were able to make postal or 'book' bids. Most of the lots were sold to UK members, but some will be leaving Britain. A high proportion of the lots were vintage Holtzapffel jigsaws - guaranteeing a high turnout for the meeting.
