The very first jigsaw puzzles were designed to teach geography to children. Called “dissected maps,” their (non-interlocking!) pieces were cut along the borders of counties, provinces, or nations. When assembled, they showed England, Europe, or the known world. But a puzzle can take you anywhere. So we’re going back to the 1930s and ‘40s with our vintage travel ocean liner jigsaw puzzle . The years after the Great Depression saw an explosion in puzzle popularity as people sought out peaceful, fun, and affordable ways to spend time together. Puzzlers of the time were delighted by other innovations , too: “interlocking pieces” and “machine cut.” Suddenly, puzzles were more colorful, more accessible, more fun and relaxing than ever before. New but Retro Illustrated by Steve Thomas, Across the Continent Vintage Travel Jigsaw Puzzle Series revives this energy and excitement with three 1,000-piece puzzles, each in a magical, vintage style designed to transport you across the country—and time. Sit down, relax, and watch the retro ship form at your fingertips as you put your throwback jigsaw puzzle together. It is, as the old puzzle boxes used to say, “a joy to work.” Kindly review all the included photos, which offer detailed views of the item.
