558. New Zealand

Shaped cardboard jigsaw, estimated to be of early 1970s construction and featuring a colourful pictorial map of the country. Like others in this series, the puzzle includes place-name pieces to identify many of the towns depicted. In this example there are 35 such pieces.

This specific puzzle was assembled and much enjoyed during a BCD jigsaw weekend event held in Coventry in February 2024. The 32" x 22" measurements shown on the box exactly matched the only jigsaw board available, however, when it was finally completed, it overhung the board considerably, yielding final measurements of nearer 35" x24"!
