We spent New Year's Day on this masterpiece. It's one of the most unusual puzzles I've ever attempted.
It's called Dracula in Dr. Seward's Library and as you can see, entirely black and white.
It's from a company and puzzle line I'd never heard of before, Pomegranate Artpiece Puzzles.
There's a bit of information about the illustrator, Edward Gorey, on the side of the box. Interesting!
Dale actually constructed most of this puzzle. I was able to rough-sort the pieces and help with the border. The pieces are nice and large. But my eyes were going crazy with this image.
Since Dale is color blind, the graphic nature and line drawing of this illustration was right up his alley. He could easily separate pieces by value and texture.
When he was nearly done and down to the last few pieces sorted by shape, I was able to help him place pieces again.
I do so enjoy the details in this castle, though.
Wonderfully ghoulish.
