Description
This a superb Victorian period US map puzzle with original box showing a mother(?) and child playing with te puzzle pieces. Complete with all 50 pieces, box, and full color map to aid in assembling the puzzle. The puzzle carries the date 1887 but this edition was published later, likely in 1889 or possibly 1890, based on the two Dakotas being shown. 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.
