City - Cincinnati, OH - Queen city 1915 Jigsaw Puzzle
Colourized photo from 1915
Original title: Main Street from Fountain Square
Photographer: Detroit publishing
Location: 198 E 5th St., Cincinnati, Ohio
This is the view from main street, that was near the original Fountain Square location. On the left was the old post office, which was built in the 1880's, and replaced with the new facility, the Potter Stewart United States Courthouse in 1930.
The buildings to the right of the streetcars have been replaced by the Wald Peck Federal Building in the early 1960's.
The building on the on the right with the huge directory on its wall was the Blymyer building. A tall building with many tenants. And a real pain for sign painters that need to repel down the side to paint in the new one or remove the old one.
The building in the middle, the tall white one, was the Gwynne Building, built in 1913. It's a Beaux Arts style, 120,000 sq ft, 13 story structure. It was one of the most architecturally distinctive building in this region at this time. It still stands today as a historic place.
If you go further back, that blue sign is where the Second National Bank sits, and its still there today.
I find it interesting that now and then you can find a time traveller, someone that looks a bit out of place and could pass for someone from today's time. Though this guy looks like he came from the 1940's. Can you find him?

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 bought this image in 110 pieces because I like puzzles I can complete in a few hours. This one took me about 1.5 hours. It was surprisingly challenging in that in the nebular section of the image the pieces were difficult to orientate. It was difficult to gauge which pieces were right without trying them and sometimes I thought certain pieces wouldn't fit and they did. It must be the way the image is made up that it tricks the eye. I definitely found it harder than I thought it would be so yes it's a challenge.
As always very good quality puzzle in a very durable box that stores really well on my small bookcase. The image was well orientated on the puzzle so I would say the printer got this one pretty bang on. Very good quality image.
