Trivia:
John Spilsbury, a London cartographer, and engraver is believed to have produced the first “jigsaw” puzzle around 1760. It was a map glued to a flat piece of wood and then cut into pieces following the lines of the countries. These early puzzles were known as “dissections,” and they were beneficial for teaching geography. Source: Los Angeles Public Library – A Puzzling History of Jigsaw Puzzles
