Not Even a Mouse

My Christmas gift to Hildegard December 1991. Made by Stave Puzzles, Norwich, VT, plywood, interlocking, cut partially along color lines with 6 figure pieces, dropouts deception, irregular edges. Stave designed the artwork so that the mouse appears to be putting a piece into a mirror image picture of the scene the mouse is in. The junction between the 2 scenes is the true "trick" in this puzzle. The piece the mouse is holding is the Stave signature piece but does not fit into the dropout-figure in the second scene as it looks like it should. A lovely fun challenging puzzle!  Artist: E. Binsham.
