Hoefnagel<\/a> sent me an amazing pack, with this puzzle from Liberty<\/a>, and “Happily Ever Aftering” from Elms. This puzzle features “Diana and Her Nymphs” by Robert Burns<\/a> (the painter, 1869-1941, not the poet of the same name<\/a>, 1759-1796). “Diana and Her Nymphs” is a circa 1926 mural painted at the Crawford’s tearoom in Edinburgh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of beautiful whimsies, characteristic of Liberty. Particularly adorable animals — skunk & squirrel & moose for instance. Definitely kind of a challenging puzzle — a busy image, not an extremely color-diverse image. The orange at the bottom was very similar to or identical with orange in a few other places, for instance. Skin tones … the cheetahs or jaguars or whatever had different patterns, but they were often broken up … anyway, it wasn’t an EASY puzzle, but it was really enjoyable! Sadly, I did not get a picture of the back — I was going to flip it, but I was clumsy & a large part fell apart, and since it was so challenging I did not re-assemble …. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a while, I thought I had lost a piece, near the bottom right corner … but actually I had seen that piece & put it in a little baggy because it was broken … and I completely forgot I had done that, so for several days I hunted fruitlessly on the floor & amongst couch cushions & what-not … until I decided to shake the box one last time, and voil\u00e1! there was more sound than mere paper. Puzzle solved! Pieces not lost! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
