Simple Vintage Push-Fit Lawson Wood Santas Colld or The Morning After DSC05982
This is the second vintage jigsaws I've seen of this Lawson Wood cartoon at a BCD meeting, labelled as 'The Morning After' or 'Santa's Cold'.
Left: Seen at the 2025 House Party, Vintage Santa's Cold by Lawson Wood.
a small push-fit, jigsaw with some line-cutting. The diagonal cut across the picture is a bit off-putting. Unfortunately I didn't photograph the box or record any other information.
Below in comment: Seen at the Nov 2015 meeting, where one member brought in a pair of lovely small vintage jigsaws to images by Lawson Wood. This one is 'The Morning After' and is cut in an interesting push-fit style. The cut has a tremulous feel, but includes the letters X, V, W/M, N W I.

Lawson Wood, sometimes Clarence Lawson Wood, (1878 – 1957), was an English painter, illustrator and designer known for humorous depictions of cavemen and dinosaurs, policemen, and animals, especially a chimpanzee called Gran'pop, whose annuals circulated around the world. Wood was decorated by the French for his gallantry at Vimy Ridge during World War I. He was deeply concerned with animal welfare and was awarded membership in the Royal Zoological Society in 1934. His animal designs were reproduced as wooden toys and he established a sanctuary for aged creatures. In his later years, he was a recluse and died in Devon in 1957.
