Andrew Kershaw 280pc Please To Remember The Fifth Of November Borce Nursery Rhyme Poster 15pt5x19pt5in Gay Way no36 Macmillan Aug2007 DSC03150
Andrew Kershaw cut Aug 2007 280pc Please To Remember the Fifth of November, mahogany-backed 3-ply, large pieces, 39x48cm, artwork by Boyce Nursery Rhymes. First assembled at the BCD Meeting in Sept 2007 ( when Andrew was Membership Secretary for the BCD).
I bought the jigsaw at the 2024 BCD House Party from Andrew's sister Sue T. When I opened the box later I was surprised at how large the pieces were - I thought Andrew must have been aiming at the age range 5-9 years. The knobs are very round and the background pieces rather square & grid-like. I soon discovered that the characters were perfectly line-cut, eg no trace of the yellow buttons on adjacent pieces. It made the jigsaw a joy to do.
(Andrew's flat when cleared contained many uncut jigsaw blanks, many were of nursery rhymes from the same series as this, Gay Way Series of Nursery Rhymes from 1950s by Ella Ruth Boyce. This series of Nursery Rhyme Pictures by Dorothy Muriel Wheeler was produced by Macmillan & Co. to support the Gay Way reading scheme.)
