F.X. Schmid “The Barnstormer” by John Wilson


Since the Coronavirus Pandemic began, Jenny's been kind enough to let me occasionally do laundry at her house to avoid the public laundromat.  I did this 300 piece puzzle today while at Jenny's house.  I timed myself, and it took about two hours. 

This F.X. Schmid puzzle is marketed as a "large format edition" with "easy to handle" pieces.  Finished, it measures 18 x 24 inches.  The artwork is by John Wilson, and copyright 2004.  The box credits "license granted by Wild Wings."  Made in Germany.  

The large pieces and smaller piece count made this a fun mental exercise to complete quickly.  I love the old time country image.  It had lots of details, like the dog chasing after the plane, the slingshot in the boy's back pocket, and a clothesline in the deep background.  A fun vintage puzzle over fifteen years old!
