Les Chapeaux de l'Histoire by Loudon Sainthill. Circular Springbok puzzle, 500 pieces,1965

Needing a break from a puzzle I am currently working on ( stuck in the dreaded large dark tree area) I have just done this one. I have had it for several years now and it is probably my favourite of the Circular Springboks. "An art nouveau study of ladies' hats through the ages"

The artist Loudon Sainthill (1918-1969) who was Australian born, was" England's finest and one of the world's foremost stage designers"

His stage designs include, 1950 for Sir Robert Helpmann and Dame Margot Fonteyn's Ile de Sirenes and 1951 for Michael Benthall's The Tempest at The Shakespeare Theatre Stratford-on-Avon.
