This jigsaw is a 306pc vintage jigsaw sold by a BCD member in May 2018. It has a more florid style than the jigsaw from Lot27 of the auction made with the same image. A Healthy Appetite (aka A Hearty Appetite) by WD Sadler shows an 18th-19thC man relishing carving a joint of meat at a simple kitchen table covered in a white cloth.
Another vintage example belonged to Dave Cooper, and was sold at an auction in Nov 2019, with Tom Tyler as auctioneer.
Lot 27 – 2xPears Prints: Impudent Hussies, 441pc complete 23.5x18.5in, no box + A Healthy Appetite 251pc complete 11.5x16.3in boxed A slightly angular push-fit jigsaw.
est£120 – MADE £280
The other jigsaw in the lot is Impudent Hussies by Mary Groves (1902 Annual print) 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.
