Canaletto view of the Grand Walk, jigsaw
)
A Wentworth wooden puzzle featuring view of the Grand Walk, Vauxhall Gardens by Canaletto The jigsaw is cut in the classic Victorian style, in which every piece is a different shape and selected pieces are cut in shapes that may reflect the image. The ‘whimsies’ were so called because Victorian puzzle cutters included the shapes on a whim, and the Wentworth puzzle company has revived this old tradition. Manufactured from high quality wood using state of the art, computer driven laser technology, pieces are cut in patterns that challenge, intrigue, frustrate and confuse – not least because the corners are frequently bisected and straight pieces appear in the middle of the puzzle. Boxed, 22.5 x 17.5 cms, 250 pieces.
