Many 20th-century puzzles were cut to suit the age and ability of children. These vary from a few large and easily manageable pieces to smaller and more numerous ones. This puzzle shows the continuing interest in the British Royal Family. King George VI (ruled 1936–52) is shown with his two daughters riding ponies in Windsor Park in April 1938. A popular way to produce jigsaws was to use a photograph of well-known places or people.
