Description: A beautiful image of a lady in an ornate, colorful dress, in the style of Art Nouveau, a unique hand cut wooden jigsaw puzzle, no title on this puzzle, complete, with 154 pieces, artist signed Le Feuge ? (hard to make out last name, and cannot find a reference to an artist with this name). This is a non interlocking, color line cut puzzle, dating from about 1910-1915, date on bottom left corner under signature is 1906. Pieces are on solid wood, and quality is high. Because of the very good use of the color line cutting, it is a challenging puzzle, this one was especially fun to do because of the vivid color and subject matter. This is most likely a one of a kind puzzle, coming from an attic estate sale and appearing to have been cut by one person for personal/family use. This box is not labeled, but seems to follow the style of the others I have been selling the past few weeks. I believe either a Mr. C. R. Bangs or a Mary Bangs cut the puzzles (maybe both). One box, listed tonight, has "Cut by C. R. Bangs" on the box lid, another puzzle sold previously has the name "Mary Bangs" cut into the puzzle pieces. Most boxes have either Bangs or property of C. R. Bangs written somewhere on the box. These puzzles are from a very large lot of an attic estate find, two listed tonight, and the rest as they are completed. Puzzle resides in it's original box, a plain cardboard, with no label. If you are a collector of this style and period of vintage puzzles, you won't be disappointed.
Size: Puzzle size 8 1/2" x 11". Box appx. 7 1/4" x 4" x 2".
Condition: Excellent on puzzle, very good on box. A few of the pieces look like they may have small stain spots, but on close inspection, it appears it may be a printing flaw. Pieces are in very good shape with no breaks, missing paper, or warping. Box is sound but has some age stains.
My apologies for camera flash glare on some of the pictures.
Please note: None of my images are enhanced in any way for clarity, contrast or color. They are displayed as they came directly off the scanner or from a digital camera, with adjustments for sizing only.
