A beautiful wooden jigsaw puzzle by the renowned Parker Brothers, a prominent game manufacturer based in Salem, MA, dating back to 1915. This superb piece was made in the USA.
Early jigsaws were known as 'dissected puzzles' and were prints mounted onto wood and then hand cut into interlocking pieces. Dissected puzzles from the 18th century were devised as teaching aids to children rather than toys, and featured educational subjects. Their purpose was to make learning fun.
Box in fair condition considering it's over 100 years old! The puzzle is complete and is a fine piece of history. Grade 2 under the Hoyles Vintage Grading System.
