Warne Chandos 200pc Boyhood of Raleigh by Millais Cutting Path 5
A jigsaw with this image was displayed in the Sep 2021 BCD meeting show & tell under the theme History. The painting is the Boyhood of Raleigh, by Pre-Raphaelite artist Millais. This prompted me to do a jigsaw roundup from my records on the painting.
I have already posted one collage of two Expert/Boots jigsaws - one in the spiral and another in the fantasy style - see below.
Here is a third example, marketed by Warne Chandos, again in Robert Plumb's continously cut fantasy style. This jigsaw has a lot of stylised flowers - it is 200pc, measuring 12x9.5in. The jigsaw was sold in May 2013 by a BCD member.
Top Right: The white markings on the image mark the path of a single cut, covering almost half the blank. When you look closely at the cut - and get your eye in - it becomes easier to do this. Short straight cuts go across the maze, usually at narrow points, while the long cuts flow, often have a slight rounding of the corners and don't usually turn awkwardly. In the lower right corner of the jigsaw it isn't clear if the cutter has gone straight into the star-shaped flower, or approached from the corner. I think he has come straight uo the 'flower stem', because turning from one crooked path into another would be more awkward.
