March 23, 1998
On March 23 1998 I gave a presentation titled, "The Wonders of Wood Puzzles: Beauty and Challenge" at the Westborough, MA Town Library. My presentation focused on the two great eras in American jigsaw puzzle history: the 1909 period when puzzles cut for adults first became popular (especially among women), and the 1930s during the Great Depression when jigsaw puzzles because an important form of entertainment for the entire family.
