His Majesty

Catalog Code: 
P- 0500
Description: 

Cut in 1935 by #471 with color line cutting and 36 figure pieces, this puzzle is an early example of the use of cuts into a figure piece (called dead end cuts) to "enhance" it. Note the shell figure piece in the lower left. Inside cover of the box has label indicating the puzzle was specially made with artwork supplied by the customer, Harriet Kirk, which probably explains the enhanced figure pieces.  King George V is "His Majesty".  
George V (George Frederick Ernest Albert; 1865 – 1936) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 until his death in 1936.  The only artist Identification I could find was some references to "The Art Stop".
