Cafe - Chicago IL - Perfect Eat Shop 1942 Jigsaw Puzzle
Colourized photo from 1942, April
Original title: In the Perfect Eat Shop, restaurant
Photographer: Jack Delano
Location: 410-412 E. 47th St., Chicago, IL
Located in Bronzeville, this cafe belonged to a black owner by the name of Earl Morris. It was known as the Morris Perfect Eats Shop. In its day it was considered an exclusive "eat shopped", as they called cafe's in the day.
It was very possible you may run into a black congressmen, or even a former heavyweight champion, Jack Jackson. There was a private room in the back for civic leaders both black and white, planning reforms.
It had a modernistic flair that seemed to have changed every few years or so, according to postcards.
They would primarily change the wall decor and paint, while keeping the chairs and the tables the same colours. This was the last last time this place was called the Perfect eats shop, after this it was known as the Morris Maroon Lounge, which looked just like this, but in maroon.
Its possible that the stone faced man in the back, is Mr Morris, who seems both camera shy, and not at the same time.

I got this image in 110 pieces as I cannot commit to large puzzles. This one took me about an hour and was fairly easy. Perhaps 252 pieces would have better suited me for a little more complexity. This is not my favourite sugar skull as I prefer more girly colours like hot pink, reds and purples but I enjoyed doing this one. There is a lot of detail in the image and it was interesting to do. I don't think I will buy the larger puzzle count just because there are other sugar skull images that I much prefer.
Again very good quality puzzle and durable storage box that fits very well on small bookcase. The image was well positioned on this one so who ever printed this one got it pretty bang on.

We are pleased with the jigsaw itself. However we are disappointed the box is far bigger than the jigsaw and not the kind of storage box we expected i.e. Ravensburger standard; rather it's a postage box and not very sturdy at that. Given it cost £18 + pp we did expect more. The image quality is good.
The pieces are rather thin and flimsy.

I like puzzles but can't commit to thousands of pieces. I chose this one in 110 pieces because I wanted a challenge that could be completed in a few hours. This one took approx 3.5 hours to complete. The image is pretty uniform throughout so may seem daunting but some of the jigsaw pieces are quite unique which helps. You definitely need a good eye for detail and this puzzle is challenging and engaging giving the satisfaction of completion after a relatively short commitment of time.
I do not like thousands of pieces because I don't have the time or motivation to keep going back to a puzzle which needs to be stored and moved and this can result in a loss of pieces.
The box the puzzle is supplied in is good quality and will store the puzzle safely for a long time. The box also fits on one of my small bookcase so storage is very easy. The puzzle print is slightly smaller than the image on the box and this makes orientation of the puzzle harder. The image is of really good quality though and I'm happy with the quality of this aspect.
