Orchids 500 pieces vintage jigsaw puzzle from Penny Puzzle
500-piece vintage jigsaw puzzle Orchids from Penny Puzzle
The illustration Orchids is based on Ernst Haeckel's work Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature), which was published between 1899 and 1904, a work consisting of 100 artistically rendered color plates where Haeckel combined scientific observation with a highly decorative, almost artistic composition.
On Orchids you can find a total of 16 different orchids, including:
- Cattleya labiata
- Cattleya mendelii
- Cattleya warscewiczii
- Paphiopedilum argus
- Paphiopedilum / Cypripedium hybrids
- Paphinia rugosa
- Promenaea xanthina
- Oncidium species and hybrids
- Cyrtochilum loxense
It is not necessarily the same botanical names that are used for orchids today.
Ernst Haeckel was a German zoologist and a strong proponent of Darwin's theory of evolution, but he was also an extremely skilled draftsman and watercolor artist. Instead of merely illustrating the beautiful orchids one by one, Haeckel arranged them here as a work of art, and it is precisely for this reason that this fine illustration has now also become a beautiful jigsaw puzzle from Penny Puzzle.
The vintage jigsaw puzzle Orchids is guaranteed to be a delightful challenge for the whole family. You'll find plenty of challenge and small details that you probably haven't seen before.
An A4 poster is included to help you complete the puzzle.
