Description
This is a rare, superb Victorian period US map puzzle with original box showing a young girl playing with cut-out dolls and maps. Complete with all 74 pieces and box. There are two sides to the puzzle - one side is a world map on Mercator projection with insets of the United States and Great Britain and the other is of the US Capitol. The original paper label on the box is reminiscent of a cigar box label as it combines the printing processes of multi-stone chromolithography, solid color zinc plate, and gold stamping to produce a beautiful image. McLoughlin Bros., Inc. was a New York publishing firm that pioneered the systematic use of color printing technologies in children's books, particularly between 1858 and 1920. It is rare to find a nineteenth century puzzle with all pieces and in good condition.
