Four Vintage Library Jigsaws by Miss K Rutherford 18
BCD member Per-Martin Andersson won a jigsaw, 'Daniel & the Lions' recently on ebay and asked if we knew about other Miss K Rutherford jigsaws with lettering in them. David P uploaded 'Elisha & the Rich Woman of Shumen' with a photo of the letters in his jigsaw.
I produced a collage of the selling images from Daniel, which allows you to study the cut more closely and see some of the letters Martin picked out. I have seen two other Miss Rutherford Library puzzles with letters in them. One is my own 'Dandelion Pasture' (JKXY) and the other 'Roman Children at Play' (an E and a tree, but I don't have much information about this jigsaw).
Left: Miss Rutherford Library c400pc Alpine Dandelion Pasture by Anna Haller, 7repl, letters JKXY, 12x15in. Bought Jan 2018.
Centre Top: Miss K Rutherford Library 555pc A Scanty Meal, no211, 14.5x20in - a very showy cut. Bought Sept 2017.
Lower Centre: Miss K Rutherford Library 392pc Triumphal Entry, no637, 12x18in, sold Nov 2019 - attractive colourful image, biblical subject by Elsie Anna Woo.... .
Right: Two figurals from Miss K Rutherford 861pc Roman Children at Play, 5pcmiss at least 3repl, 18x24in no495. Sold May2020.
David's jigsaw: "963pc Miss K Rutherford Library, Liverpool labelled ‘Joseph’ which is incorrect. The picture is of ‘Elisha & the rich woman of Shumen’ (2Kings Ch4). It is the story of a ‘well to do’ woman who shows great kindness to the prophet, Elisha. The image is of Elisha asking her what she would like in return for her kindness. He grants her the birth of a son in the next year. Unfortunately, the story doesn’t have a happy ending. Mostly push fit with one discoloured piece in the table. All original and complete, bought at the 2020 BCD House Party."
Other biblical subjects include:
1000pc Dish of Fruit/Tentmaker/Offering, no807
521pc (Suffer)The Children no824
1038pc Ark of the Covenant no947?
857pc Jerusalem Landscape
960pc Gift of Flowers, no464 - same image as Roman Children at Play, but different cut, sold Jan 2014.
