The First Jigsaw

The first jigsaw was believed to have been made in 1760 by London engraver and mapmaker John Spilsbury. This jigsaw was a map of the world attached to a sheet of hardwood.

Each country was cut out with a marquetry saw.

These jigsaw maps were used to teach geography students who learnt the placement of the countries by reassembling the jigsaw.

Out of the selection of jigsaws on this webpage ... I personally own "The corner shop" (500 pieces) , "London looking north" (1000 pieces) and "An evening for romance" (500 pieces). To add interest I tend to take my puzzles and time myself by sitting in front of a clock, as to how long they take to do and write this time in pencil in the lid.

The jigsaws can be purchased by clicking on the "buy now" button that is under each puzzle.

I also have my own toy website at www.TidyToys.co.uk which sells mainly soft toys and some non-soft toys (Not the jigsaws on this webpage).
