BCD HParty Holtzapffel Lot16 600pc St Augustine Preaching Before Ethelbert adj DSC07551
The jigsaw was sold in the auction of Dave Cooper's jigsaws at the November 2019 meeting and assembled at the 2020 House Party. The photo was taken at 11.30pm on Friday 21st.
Lot 16 – Holtzapffel, Augustine preaching before King Ethelbert, 600pc, complete 3repl, 23.5x17.3in, wooden box, est£120 – START £140 MADE £180
This was the first medium-large rectangular Holtzapffel to be auctioned with an attractive fine-art image and extensive line-cutting. It is housed in a wooden box.
The insert detail on the right is the artist's signature from the example of the jigsaw on Jigasaurus, whose cut features more push-fit pieces with few knobs. The jigsaw was sold on by David Shearer in April 2014, but unfortunately I didn't record the price. Painted by the prolific British artist/illustrator Henry Justice Ford (1860-1941), this important and colourful religious scene depicts the Benedictine monk Augustine, soon to become First Archbishop of Canterbury, preaching to King Ethelbert, shortly to become England's first Christian King.

The cardboard jigsaw on the other side of the table was not completed at the House Party. It is the 1000pc Cheatwell Games Machu Picchu, in the World's Smallest series. The pieces are tiny, making it only suitable for one person to work on at a time.
