Beaus and Bows - 500pc Jigsaw Puzzle by New York Puzzle Co

Fashion can be a form of seduction, as the April 15, 1923, cover of the Paris Fashions Number suggests. George Wolfe Plank knows what will make the readers’ hearts beat faster, and it’s not the courteous beau at the right, but a dress with one of those “beneficent bows that came to the aid of the ladies of 1880.” Style, the magazine writes, follows the lead of women who set the mode by upsetting it. “When such a one buys, the midnight hour of that mode has struck, the coach turns into a pumpkin, and—But Cinderella’s never caught.”

Founded in 2007 by two college pals, New York Puzzle Company started with a simple idea of making a puzzle of the iconic NYC subway map. They always thought that puzzles should be more than just a fun activity to do at home – puzzles should be works of interesting art. Part fun activity and part home décor, rather than throw them away when finished, they should be kept on display. Sticking with that concept, they have carefully expanded their products by choosing each new product line to follow this philosophy. From magazine covers with iconic art to composed art pieces with common themes, New York Puzzle Company puzzles are all gallery worthy gifts.
