The World At His Feet Cartoon about George V by Bernard Partridge DSC02252
Update Aug2022: Mended
Bet you haven't got this world map Maria!
Another interesting small pushfit puzzle that came without a box, so manufacturer unknown. I was pleased to see a jigsaw of this image on BCD friend Pete Day's flickrstream and I am indebted to him for the identity of the image. The jigsaw has c300pc, one rather obvious replacement and a missing piece. The cut consists of rather small push-fit pieces with few knobs but quite a few pieces have lifting paper.
An illustration by Bernard Partidge of Mr.Punch laying out a map of the Empire for, I imagine, George V to walk over! Head of an Empire on which the sun never sets, with the world at his feet. Times have changed somewhat!
Partridge joined the staff of Punch in 1891 and, in 1910, became its chief cartoonist, replacing Edward Linley Sambourne. During his time at Punch, Partridge published several cartoons showing his support for the Suffragist movement. He was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours and of The Pastel Society. In 1915, he designed World War I posters, some of which are now held at the State Library of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia, including Take up the Sword of Justice
