La Pêche

Superb example of plywood puzzle from this very scarce manufacturer, which features another print by Francois Boucher, whose work has been given almost identical treatment here, in the Pastime branded L'offrande de Berger, both incorporating a very angular, semi-interlocking cut with colour line-cutting and many rather crudely cut Whimsies, or figural shaped pieces.
Very similar cutting has also been employed on the Pastime puzzle L'arrivée.
Many thanks to Jacques Vélu, who has so kindly supplied the details of this puzzle, along with so many other very fine examples.
