Howdy There,
Welcome to the bottom of this jigsaw puzzle page at Cowboy Toys & More. By now you know that Cowboy Toys & More stocks a wide selection of jigsaw puzzles.
We decided to add jigsaw puzzles to our offerings not so much for the little cowboys as for the moms and dads, and grandmas and grandpas. You see there is nothing like spending a Saturday evening with the
whole family gathered round the table working on a jigsaw puzzle. It is family time extraordinary. Together you can laugh, joke, and create. What could be better than that?
When we were looking for a supplier of jigsaw puzzles, we can across some interesting facts, which we would like to share.
According to the web site for the American Jigsaw Puzzle Society, It is generally agreed that the first jigsaw puzzle was produced around 1760 by John Spilsbury, a London engraver and mapmaker. Spilsbury mounted one of his maps on a sheet of hardwood and cut around the borders of the countries using a fine-bladed marquetry saw. The end product was an educational pastime, designed as an aid in teaching British children their geography. The idea caught on and, until about 1820, jigsaw puzzles remained primarily educational tools.
In 1880, with the introduction of the treadle saw, what had previously been known as dissections (not a word with particularly enjoyable connotations in our own time) came to be known as jigsaw puzzles, although they were actually cut by a fretsaw, not a true jigsaw. Towards the end of the century plywood came to be used. With illustrations glued or painted on the front of the wood, pencil tracings of where to cut were made on the back. These pencil tracings can still be found on some of these older puzzles.
