Explorers Arriving in the New World

Recently received as a gift from a good friend in the United States, this puzzle gave a huge amount of enjoyment to a group of six fellow British puzzle lovers at a recent gathering. All were amazed at the intricacy with which the cutting had been performed, and remained hooked until the last piece was placed. Well done to all at Liberty Puzzles!
A look at the reverse of the puzzle shows off the cutting style very well.
