Discover a world of nature in this elegant puzzle celebrating Darwin's epochal voyage, brought to life in Maria Rivans's signature collage style In the same collage style that have made her other puzzles such a success, Maria Rivans celebrates one of history's greatest ever journeys: Charles Darwin's voyage around the world on HMS Beagle. Between 1831 and 1835, he called on the Canary Islands, Brazil, Argentina, the Falklands, Chile, Australia--and, of course, the Galapagos archipelago, where giant tortoises and tiny finches perfectly illustrated his momentous discoveries. Vintage maps and a host of charming imagery bring Darwin's story to life; and, as in Rivans 's other puzzles, the intricate and colorful art gives the puzzler a particularly satisfying experience. The distinctive box will merchandise beautifully next to Rivans's other puzzles, encouraging customers to move from one to the next and collect the set. The accompanying 12-page booklet introduces many of the featured species and tells the story of Darwin's incredible voyage. Box measures 9 7/8" x 9 7/8" x 2 3/8"; puzzle measures a generous 27"x 18 7/8".
