1896 Punch cartoon 'The Great Unknown' Jigsaw Puzzle
A VERY neato full color Punch cartoon from the mid-1890s makes an equally neato jigsaw puzzle. The scene shows two magicians, the one on the left having the word 'Grosvenor' on his sleeve, the other holding a book marked 'Funds.' Both are wearing pendants marked with a question sign. Between them it reads 'I am the Veiled Mahatma of Prosperity! Believe in ME, ask no questions, and you will all roll in riches!!!' Some men in the audience are wearing banners which read 'Gold Bug,' 'Free Silver Crank,' '(illegible) Protection Fanatic.' Other banners are hanging from the ceiling: 'Trusts,' 'Monopolists,' etc.
At the time a lot was going on: labor unrest, tariffs, currency policy (look up William Jennings Bryan's 'Cross of Gold' speech), patronage, the rich getting richer, and the poor getting poorer.
Almost like today.
A neat gift for the politically aware, the labor activist, anyone interested in late 19th century history.

This is the second puzzle I've created and ordered. The pieces are really high quality and the color for the pictures is excellent! I made a collage of over 50 pictures for my niece for Christmas and she loved it! Colors are perfect and vibrant.

I customized a puzzle as a fund raiser for my adoption. I wanted a puzzle that I could "sell" pieces to raise money, and write the names of all the donors on the back of the pieces. The puzzle arrived ahead of the projected delivery date, and the quality was incredible! The backs were clean and the different sizes and shapes worked perfectly for writing names. I have finished putting the puzzle together, and I just need a frame to put in on our new baby's wall with the names of everyone who helped us bring him home written on the back! Image quality was great! The wording was sharp, and the picture was just the right amount of fuzzy (the picture was drawn and colored with pencil shading).
