For today, 5th March 2011, I am using two pics of jigsaws featuring montage type illustrations. Locomotives great and small in BR and pre-BR liveries are shown within a cocktail of railway paraphernalia - signs, signals, station names, engineers, staff, drawings, infrastructure, locomotive headboards, rolling stock etc. I have used two simple montage jigsaws, each comprising four photographs, in a previous 11th January post, but these two are more impressive in my opinion
The first pic shows a 1000-piece puzzle from House of Puzzles titled All Change. The artwork is by Peter Annable. Like some other artists featured on this blog Peter is a member of the Guild of Railway Artists (GRA)**.
Tony Hunt RI is responsible for the original montage style artwork, reproduced by Citadel for the jigsaw The Age of Steam Trains. The puzzle is of 1000 pieces.
If of interest, Tony's representation of The Kings and Queens of England has also been marketed by Citadel, as a 1000piece montage style jigsaw puzzle.
**The GRA website is a must for lovers of railway art, a huge collection of fantastic pictures in varying styles and mediums by over fifty artists; go to www.railart.co.uk and be amazed.
