I would have liked it better if it had 1000 pieces
I like old world maps
Loved it, so much fun!
It was interesting to see what people thought the world looked like circa 1630. Great colors and well-made!
Outstanding puzzle. It is historically accurate and enjoyable to piece together. As a navigator myself, I found the representations of the world fascinating. The bedrock of navigation are the latitude and longitude squares. The Mercator map projections were used throughout my flying days (1933-1998). The courage to explore the world in the 1630s made the world feel smaller and more connected. The precision pieces of the puzzle make Buffalo puzzles our favorite puzzle vendor.

Beautiful, high quality puzzle. Detail was extremely small to see. I had to use a magnifying glass on the puzzle and the poster.
Great puzzle thank you.
