Abstract

I needed to see how many pieces were missing, so I did the puzzle myself. The artist seems to be "Aliki." And now I wonder: Are there more fable puzzles in this series? And now, one day later, I have found one of the two missing pieces! Maybe I'll still find the other one!

Abstract

This is perhaps the sturdiest pair of puzzles in the collection. Complete in the box. Jourgin was doing movie posters in 1937. The only other Jouets Veza product I can find is a set of puzzles displaying propeller drive airplanes and jets at Nice's airport. Click on the box to see the two puzzles.

Abstract

This puzzle fits together very tightly. I learned how difficult it is to put a puzzle inside its frame onto a flatbed scanner! There is also a puzzle of TMCM in the same series of six puzzles for ages 4 to 6. Hmmmm.....

Abstract

I remember this sort of puzzle fondly from my childhood. A heavy back supports the cut-out outline of the upper level of the puzzle. The large pieces fit right in. This simple puzzle pictures a very happy tortoise! For fun, I offer views of the puzzle both inside its borders and alone.

Abstract

Each of three thirty-piece puzzles includes a printed fable as part of its picture: LM, TH, and FC. I knew there had to be some old picture puzzles out there, and this is the first that I found.

Abstract

This is about as elaborate a start of the TH race as I have seen! What a huge cast of characters! The trappings of the race along with the large congregation of animals make for a good puzzle. It was not easy! I had never thought of checkered pants for the hare. The top hats of two of the birds are among the best touches.

Abstract

Many of the pieces of this puzzle are identifiable objects. In fact, if you look in the illustration, you can find an automobile. I find it curious that now that I have finally found three picture puzzles of fables, two of them were done by the same company in the same year!

CFC2019.0115.1 and CFC2019.0115.2 are Aptitude Tested Puzzles of Hansel and Gretal scences.

Abstract

The picture is rather simple and static: a swan and raven face each other. The artist's signature seems to be either "Alihi" or "Aliki."

Abstract About six months ago, I catalogued an extraordinary and delicate single piece presenting TH found by Bertrand Cocq, a woven paper picture puzzle formed by weaving twelve strips of paper through a perforated sheet to create a picture. Now six months later, I discover that I had a set of eight of them that I had purchased sometime earlier – who knows where and for how much? – beautifully boxed and called “Tissage Imagé.” I have left the overhanging paper strips on FG so that you can sense...
