The
puzzles of those days were quite a challenge. Most
had pieces cut exactly on the color lines. There were
no transition pieces with two colors to signal, for
example, that the brown area (roof) fit next to the
blues (sky). A sneeze or a careless move could undo
an evening’s work because the pieces did not
interlock. And, unlike children’s puzzles, the
adult puzzles had no guide picture on the box; if
the title was vague or misleading, the true subject
could remain a mystery until the last pieces were
fitted into place. |
