City - Atlantic City NJ - Steel Pier 1909 Jigsaw Puzzle
Colourized photo from 1909
Original Title: Boardwalk from Steeplechase Pier
Photographer: Detroit Publishing
Location: 1000 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, NJ
We are seeing what it looked like from around 1909. The location exists today, but naturally it looks totally different.
The building on the right is the Steel Pier itself, it was built on June 18th 1898. The structure underneath used iron beams and concrete, measured 2298ft long. It served as a venue for concerts, musicals, exhibits and so on. This pier has seen fires and storms, parts were washed out into the ocean over the years. And its rebuilt year after year, this particular pier exists, along with the boardwalk.
On the other hand, Steeplechase pier (where we are looking from), is gone today, it caught fire in 1986 and they razed it. Its just ocean now.
The area where those buildings are on the left, is where the failed Taj Mahal casino is, presently a Hard Rock Hotel. But the stores are very similar to what we see today.

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.

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.

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.
