Description

John Derian is an artist and designer whose work with printed images from the past transports the viewer to another world. Featuring a nineteenth-century map used in an advertising campaign, The City of New York shows a long-lost Manhattan, the island bristling with docks and surrounded by boats, the city an impenetrable grid of squat brick and brownstone buildings punctuated by church steeples and tiny patches of green. And a mystery: The Brooklyn Bridge wouldnt be completed for another four years, yet it looks so real . . .

Featuring:

• 750 full-color interlocking pieces
• Art print with puzzle image
• Finished puzzle is 18 7/8" x 263/8"
