Prize Fight, A

This solid wood jigsaw puzzle features colour line-cutting and an unusual semi-interlocking cut.
The print is of the famous painting A Prize Fight, by the British artist Henry Thomas Alken (1785-1851), aquatinted by I. Clark, published by Thomas McLean, 1820.
The puzzle came in a box with hand-written label and Made in USA printed on the base.
Material, subject and cutting style lead me toward a feeling that this puzzle probably dates from the Early 1900's, but this is not certain.
Thanks to David Pollard for sending photos and details on this fascinating puzzle.
