Lovely Antique Six Sided Litho Block Puzzle in Original Box, with Complete Set of Prints antique porcelain the year 1895

the year 1895

part of what really makes it is the visceral effect of layered and overlapping of forms and colors

which I love but which certainly make it less desirable to sampler collectors than if the colors were bright

which feel great to wrap one's hands around

which I think just adds to their charm

Lovely Antique Six Sided Litho Block Puzzle in Original Box, with Complete Set of Prints antique porcelain the year 1895I keep an eye out for these, but only the early ones, and this is an extra nice one (c. 1870s or so I believe), especially for the lovely original latching box it is housed in, and for including a complete set of prints showing the completed images for five of the sides, with the sixth on the face of the box. Horses appear in all but oneeither out on a hunt or pulling a carriage or on a trek through the countryside, with dogs and sheep and chickens
