In the Tropics

Only the second example I have seen from the very uncommon J.J. Banks & Son brand of plywood jigsaw puzzles. This puzzle features a painting by the British artist/illustrator Arthur Twidle, and seems likely to have been one of the illustrations from his 1920 published book, Beautiful Butterflies of the Tropics, an example page from which is shown in the last image. The puzzle has been cut in a semi-interlocking style with no colour line-cutting. The box with lift-off lid carries an inscription which is believed to read Xmas 1918.
