Pears Vintage 510pc Tempted But Shy by GG Kilburne, from 1910 Annual, torn box lid references Mrs Pell.
Top Left: Owner Jen Schorman has replaced two pieces (above the mirror & top edge). In good general condition apart from two discoloured pieces near the right edge (possibly older replacements) and what seems to be a long gouge in the wood to the right of the mother's head. Push-fit with extensive line-cutting.
Only a fragment of an older box remains (which might be the original). The small white label attached to the box lid is a Harrods (?Films) Saver, P 9/34 Mrs Pell, Wilburton Manor, Ely.
The large white label with blue ink handwriting describes the jigsaw, giving dimensions and a description and notes that it is complete in March 1947. There is a 'scraped' portrait of a woman in the card surface below the label - a lovely feature. This label sits over another label which might relate to a former Harrods box use, or possibly an earlier label of the jigsaw.
Lower Right: The same area of the image from a vintage American jigsaw. This was cut by GW Fiss Jnr of Philadelphia, c1911, and is in the Strong Museum of Play, which holds Anne Williams's jigsaw collection.

Wilburton Manor.
A Gothic country house now a school built 1848-1851 to the designs of AWN Pugin and built by George Myers.

Wilburton Manor was built for the Pell family as the ‘New Manor’ to distinguish it from the old Elizabethan manor house, Burystead, located in the village. According to Pevsner the house was constructed 'without the supervision of the architect'. However, it appears that Pugin was in Wilburton on 24 August 1848 at which time he may well have discussed the design with the Pells. As noted in the listing application, George Myers then wrote that "I ... hereby agree to erect a house at Wilburton for the Honorable Lady Pell according to the plans and specifications and to the entire satisfaction of A. W. Pugin the Architect, for the sum of two thousand four hundred and seventy five pounds ... completing the same by Midsummer 1849". The internal plan of the house is similar to that of Pugin's own house, The Grange in Ramsgate and is known as the 'pin wheel' plan form.
Wilburton Manor had come into the possession of Sir Albert Pell in 1817 and after his death in 1832 was held by his widow the Hon Lady Margaret Letitia Matilda Pell until her death in 1868. In 1900 Sir Albert's two surviving nephews were joint lords. Albert Pell the elder, a noted agriculturalist and authority on the poor law, died in 1907 and was succeeded by his nephew Albert Julian, who had been acting as steward. On the death of Albert Julian Pell in 1916 his nephew, Beauchamp Stewart Pell, succeeded. Kelly’s Directory notes that ‘Wilburton Manor, a mansion of red brick and stone, erected from the designs of the late A.W.N. Pugin is the property of the trustees of Albert Julian Pell JP (deceased) who are lords of the manor and principal landowners: The house (1929) is currently unoccupied’. Pugin also worked on restoring St Peter’s Church in Wilburton for Lady Pell.
The Manor was sold to Cambridgeshire County Council in the mid C20 and is now used as a school, which opened on 12 October 1965. As a consequence of the reuse, the house has been adapted for use as accommodation for the pupils and other buildings have been constructed on the site.

Glyn Warren Philpot (1884-1937).
Oil on canvas, c1911.
British painter and sculptor, born in London. He studied at Lambeth School of Art, 1900–03, and at the *Académie Julian, Paris, 1905. It was as a portraitist that Philpot had his main success, which was at its height in the 1920s. However, he also did a mural, Richard I Leaving England for the Crusades (1927), for St Stephen's Hall, Westminster, and had ambitions as a painter of allegories and religious subjects (he became a convert to Catholicism in 1905). Philpot grew tired of routine fashionable portraiture (however lucrative it was) and in 1931 he moved to Paris for a year and started working in a more modern idiom—flatter and more stylized than his earlier manner. The new style met with a mixed reception and some of Philpot's earlier admirers were dismayed: ‘Glyn Philpot “Goes Picasso”’, read a headline in the Scotsman on 30 April 1932.
He died suddenly of heart failure in his London studio. The day after his funeral his friend and disciple Vivian Forbes (1891–1937) committed suicide; his behaviour had been unbalanced for several years. Philpot was out of fashion for many years, but his reputation began to revive in the 1970s (coinciding with a general renewal of interest in the *Art Deco style, of which he is sometimes said to be a representative) and there was a major exhibition of his work at the National Portrait Gallery, London, in 1984–5. He is now perhaps best known for his portraits of black people—his West Indian servant Henry Thomas was a favourite model.

Wout's second Peacock jigsaw shows King George V on horseback taking the Coronation Salute from mounted horse regiments. A very attractive painting!
Attributed to Peacock 197pc Coronation Salute C Clark 38x25cm solid wood, c1911.
Blank divided into quarters and cut into sinusoidal pieces, piece-by-piece. A typical Peacock cutting style - the original box was missing when Wout bought it. We cannot be sure if it was produced under their own labels or as a contract jigsaw for other retailers. It could even be a private cutting by a Peacock cutter.
Wout painstakingly identified all the flags carried by the various horsemen representing various regiments. This included Royal and Great Britain Country standards (England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland), plus Commonwealth/Empire territories - Natal, New Zealand, Australia, Queensland, Tasmania, India, Canada.
The artist, Sir Christopher Clark was a specialist in horse paintings.
Top Left: from the photos John Hyde gave me of his collection another brilliant jigsaw from the painting, this time line-cut.

(John's photos are often too yellow in tone, so I have adjusted it.)
Peacock's Contract Manufacture
Peacock initially produced jigsaws under contract for several department stores and stationers. Wout believes that later on they worked mainly for Hamleys. He gave a talk to BCD about this, which is on the BCD members website.
There is an album of Peacock jigsaws on flickr, created to support that research.
Three vintage jigsaws by GW Fiss or GW Fiss Jnr of Philadelphia.
Top Left: American jigsaw Pears GW Fiss Jnr 1911 Philadelphia Tempted But Shy, by GG Kilbourne a presentation plate in the 1910 Pears Annual, push-fit.
This was cut by GW Fiss Jnr of Philadelphia, c1911, and is in the Strong Museum of Play, which holds Anne Williams's jigsaw collection. It has excellent line-cutting and an interesting variety of shapes including a few whimsies. The cutting lines include smooth, stepped, zig-zag, wiggly and a few knobs.
Lower Left: Vintage GW Fiss 600pc Story of the Elopement pt1 by Lomax, 16x25in. Another beautifully line-cut push-fit jigsaw, shown by Anne Williams in 2022. Part 1 of a series, this shows a runaway Regency couple caught at an inn by the girl's father. The girl is in despair whilst the beau tries to reconcile with her parent. The ostler chats to the innkeeper and servants, one of whom is peeking at the scene. In the second painting there is a reconciliation between the girl and her family when she returns home.
Right: George W Fiss Jr Pears 1909 Plate 623pc Compulsory Education (or Naughty Boy) by Briton Riviere, 22.5x16in. Push-fit, large spider's web. Their signature figural was an upside-down F (or sometimes an anchor).
At the April 2025 virtual meeting Anne showed this jigsaw and a double spread from The Fiss's puzzle record book, recording jigsaws bought and cut. George W. Fiss's puzzle notebook (also in the Strong's collection) shows that they cut a total of 114 puzzles between 1909 and 1921 and loaned them to family and friends. Anne urged all cutters to record all their jigsaws carefully for future records and research.
Anne had about two dozen of the Fiss's (uncle & nephew's) works and this is one of her favourites.

Since 1972 the Stained Glass Museum has been housed in the nave triforium (originally on the north side, it was later transferred to the south where it currently remains). This is the only collection in the country solely devoted to the medium and is a great ambassador for it, with fine pieces covering a range of styles and illustrating the development of the art through the various backlit panels on show in the gallery.
National Slate Museum, Llanberis, Gwynedd.
Chief Engineer's House.
The house is presented to the public in the way it was fitted and furnished c1911.
The National Slate Museum is located at Gilfach Ddu in the 19th-century workshops of the now disused Dinorwic quarry, within the Padarn Country Park.
The workshops which served the needs of the quarry and its locomotives, were built in 1870 on land created from the continuous tipping of spoil from the adjacent Vivian Quarry, and as a replacement for the store sheds which were previously sited there. Rail access to the works was by both 1 ft 11 1⁄2 in narrow gauge (the quarry gauge) and 4 ft narrow gauge (that of the Padarn Railway which carried the slate from the quarry to Port Dinorwic). Rails also entered the main yard through the main entrance.
The quarry closed in 1969 and the site was opened on 25 May 1972 as the North Wales Quarrying Museum.
