The Bird Catchers

Catalog Code: 
P- 0983
Description: 

Interlocking, 60 figure pieces, color line cut.  Bird catching and treating them as "pets" was popular around the turn of the century.  The birds were treated well but captivity of wild animals is rarely "good" and the custom faded for the most part.

[Can't find this image online, but Lisa Lee was familiar with the name of artist, Nicolas Lanceret, and formal title, "Spring-The Bird Catchers."  Lisa made 3 very fine replacment pieces for this puzzle]
