Summary
A jigsaw puzzle featuring an image of a Beatrix Potter character, a girl mouse dressed in fancy clothes, looking in a mirror, possibly from 'The Tailor of Gloucester'. The puzzle consists of two wooden boards, rectangular with rounded corners, covered with melamine and therefore resembling chopping boards stuck together. Both boards are colour-printed with the same image. The lower board is intact, but the upper one has had the image cut into twenty four rectangular pieces, leaving a narrow border, thereby creating a puzzle whose pieces can be removed and reassembled, using the lower image as a guide. Total number of items is 25.
