Subject: jigsaw puzzle maps popular during present pandemic
The i newspaper (London) of Thursday last, 9 April 2020, p. 15, under the alliterative title 'Pandemic promotes puzzling' reminds readers of one present thriving industry: that of jigsaw puzzles, stating that reported sales have increased to "as much as 150 per cent during the lockdown." The contribution carries the byline of Andrew Matthews. The Dorset-based producing company is named . . .
The col. ill. is of an unattributed county map of 'CAITHNESS' (late 18th century?): probably identifiable via either a hard copy of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society's The early maps of Scotland, vol. 2 (Edinburgh, 1983) - or via NLS's website.
