Ramsgate Sands (Life at the Seaside)

This large, 800 piece interlocking plywood puzzle from Optimago, quotes:
William Frith was born in Yorkshire in 1819 and began painting at an early age, drawing inspiration from historic and literary scenes of the works of Shakespeare and Dickens. As a painter of historical genre and scenes of Victorian life, he always sought to portray images of ordinary life. During the 1850's he achieved a notable degree of success with his work and Queen Victoria purchased the painting Ramsgate Sands. He was elected RA to fill the place left vacant by Turner's death.

The artist also painted a famous historical scene at London's Paddington Station in 1862, one which has featured in jigsaw puzzles also found here on the Jigasaurus. See the Chad Valley GWR promotional puzzle A Railway Station and also this similarly packaged 600 piece Optimago puzzle.
