Pageant of Holiday-A Blackpool Cameo

This, hard to find, promotional plywood jigsaw puzzle was manufactured by Chad Valley for ICI and features a painting by the English artist Charles Ernest Cundall (1890-1971), one which was specially commissioned by the Dyestuffs Group of Imperial Chemical Industries Limited for use in their 1938 calendar.
The painting shows a very colourful and crowded Blackpool pleasure beach, complete with the town's most famous landmark, the 1894 opened Blackpool Tower and its North pier. The puzzle, cut in Chad Valley's traditional interlocking style is housed in a green bookshelf style box with small monochrome guide picture and ribbon ties.
