08. The Landing of Johann Van Riebeek at the Cape in 1652

Fascinating historical jigsaw puzzle from the South African Series, which features a painting by Charles Eddowes Turner (1883 - 1965), showing the arrival of Johann Van Riebeeck (correct spelling) in Table Bay in 1652. The three ships involved were Drommedaris, Reijger and Goede Hoop. Source Wikipedia.

This example is the larger 300 piece version showing a fuller picture.

The box lid of this example features the generic 'Springbok Series' logo and a previous owner has added a title label on the side. It is correctly numbered '8' on the base.
