Product description
Step into the stunning landscape of Dartmoor National Park in Devon with the ‘Birds of Dartmoor’ 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle, by artist Glen Middleham. This puzzle brings to life the original collage and captures the beauty and diversity of over 50 bird species found in the wilds of Dartmoor. Whether you’re an avid birdwatcher or simply a lover of nature, this puzzle offers a unique and rewarding challenge.
The original collage was created by hand-cutting vintage photographs of birds and assembling them to build the scene. After being digitally scanned, the collage has become Jam Contemporary Art’s best-selling art print.
The piece is purposefully not photo-realistic; instead, inspired by Victorian composite illustration plates found in nature reference books, it depicts a collection of birds in a naturally unnatural setting. The work has been created using historic references, retaining pulled focus on the specimens with a typifying Dartmoor landscape backdrop softly glowing in the distance.
With over 50 different species to identify using the handy key, even the most experienced bird enthusiast will find themselves delightfully tested. An invitation to deepen your knowledge of Dartmoor’s avian residents, this puzzle is the perfect gift for bird lovers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone eager to learn more about the fascinating world of birds.
The completed jigsaw measures 70×50 cm, making it an ideal size for framing and displaying in your home. A full-colour reference poster (35×25 cm) is included, and the full image is featured on the box lid. Crafted from premium board, this puzzle ensures a high-quality experience with pieces that fit together perfectly, virtually eliminating puzzle dust.
Embrace the beauty of Dartmoor’s birdlife and enjoy the satisfying experience of bringing this stunning collage to life. ‘Birds of Dartmoor’ is more than a puzzle – it’s a celebration of nature, knowledge and the joy of discovery.
