5000, Educa, The Gallery of Cornelis van der Geest

Educa published The Gallery of Cornelis van der Geest, by Willem van Haecht, in two different years, although the images of both editions are not exactly the same, since the first one was quite cropped. This version, published in 2002, is the second one. It still appears sometimes, but it is becoming increasingly hard to find.

Educa manufactured some of the best fine arts puzzles in the market. At the same time, they selected very nice pieces of art. As a consequence, many of their puzzles from the late 80’s and the 90’s are now very rare and difficult to find. In fact, they don’t appear often outside of Spain.

This puzzle is NEW, with its original FACTORY SEAL. There are minor tears in the seal on the corners, as you can see in the photographs. On the top there are minor dents on two corners.

Ravensburger was the brand that published this puzzle for the first time in 1976, in a 3000 piece uncropped version with the title Visit in the Art Gallery.
