The Corner Shop
500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

Description

Crowds peer at the delicious treats that the corner shop has to offer as they trudge home in the melting snow. Brian Eden recreates the famous adverts from the past, when children would spend all their pennies on Cadbury’s chocolate and Fry’s Turkish Delight.

As with all Gibsons jigsaws, we use 100% recycled puzzle board, and work with the best artists from all around the world. The beautifully illustrated pieces are designed to fit perfectly together; in fact, we use the thickest puzzle board on the market.

We’ve made some positive changes to our processes, so you can be sure you’re getting the same great puzzles and know they are kinder to the environment. Not only does the box have a fresh new look, but we’ve used biodegradable clear labels to secure the lid instead of shrink wrap, reducing our plastic waste. We use vegetable-based inks too. The gloss coating on the box gives extra protection and the puzzle pieces are stored in a plastic bag that can be recycled by most councils.

Because the box is slightly smaller than our previous designs, we need less room to transport our products which reduces our carbon footprint and means you can store your puzzles more easily. We have also popped an artwork poster inside for you to reference whilst you piece together your lovely jigsaw puzzle.

Artist

Brian Eden began his career as a Graphic Designer for a Liverpool company. During his two year National Service with Marine Commandos, he continued drawings and painting whenever possible, and thereafter gained further experience as a Graphic Designer for a number of companies in the Print industry.

His superb draughtsmanship is the ‘key’ to the quality of his paintings, combined with good use of colour and meticulous attention to detail.  Many of his paintings portray the beauty of Victorian England and his highly individual watercolours are avidly sought by collectors both in this country and abroad.
