Barge Scene

Uncommon example from the series of twelve Dunlop promotional puzzles, understood to be of c1938 manufacture (source: Tom Tyler). Fully interlocking in cutting style it features a colourful painting by the British commercial artist Kenneth John Petts (1907-1992), his signature appearing in the lower right corner. The Dunlop logo appears twice in this study, firstly on the car tyres (Riley), and secondly on the corner of the thatched building. Many thanks to Alan Sudbury for the supplied images and details.
