Top Centre-Right:

Vintage 195pc The New Zealand Rhine - The Wanganui by Charles Bomfield. Bought in July 2013.

A nicely chunky interlocking jigsaw in solid wood with eleven figurals, which includes a rifle, pipe , some sword/knives. The label says it is an "Easy Cut" - I'm not sure if this is the view of the cutter or of an owner. Probably an amateur cut. The box is wrapped in a rather masculine woodgrain paper.)

Our trip to New Zealand included a jet-boat trip on this river. With so much water spraying everywhere we kept our cameras and video inside our bag, but it was a thrilling ride. Charles Blomfield (1848–1926) was an English-born artist who executed several paintings of New Zealand landscapes, including the Pink and White Terraces, a notable natural feature that was later destroyed in the 1886 eruption of Tarawera.
