New York Puzzle Company - New Yorker Cat Nap - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle for Family Game Nights by Jean-Jacques Sempé

A rich, lushly painted palette by artist by sets a New York state of mind for the cover of "The New Yorker" magazine from November 1997. This image will appeal to many audiences: dreamers, lovers, fans, enthusiasts, and aficionados. The intimate space of the bedroom, rendered in dark, muted colors, frames a bed laid with a white quilt bathed in sunlight from a large picture window upon which a calico cat enjoys a serene slumber. Meanwhile, the city that never sleeps is painted in a riot of blue, green, orange and red colors with every window depicting New Yorkers toiling away in their high-rise offices. The cat’s owners are presumably part of the rat race taking place beyond the room’s quiet borders as evidenced by the two coffee mugs at bedside and scattered newspapers.Repurposing "The New Yorker" covers as puzzles is a brilliant combination of art and puzzling. You’re not just building a puzzle; you’re building a story. These puzzles are both a visual joy and a thoughtful puzzling experience. It’s a stunning image when assembled to its 1½ x 2-foot size.

As always, these are well made, sturdy, and reasonably challenging puzzles. This one went together fairly quickly. (Note: We are a hide-the-box family, with no reference to the picture allowed once we dump the pieces on the table.) All the pieces fit exactly, meaning there's almost never doubt as to whether two pieces go together or not. And because the picture itself is reasonably straightforward, it's not super difficult. In fact, if you've never tried a no-peeking puzzle, I'd recommend this as a good starting point. There were few frustrating moments, and we had only a few sections of "wonder where this chunk belongs, or which direction it faces."

finished the puzzle and one piece was missing so we were really disappointed. Found the piece caught in the hem of my blouse as we were getting ready for bed! We finished 2 New Yorker puzzles over Father's Day weekend. They are fun to do

i really liked doing this puzzle, but it was missing a piece in the end :(

I love NY designs, the puzzles are of a good quality.Note, the puzzle is slightly smaller than 1000pcs puzzles from Ravensburger, but still can use the same frame

Bought this as medium difficulty puzzle to work on with people less adept than myself during a family vaction. The pieces are easy to sort into regions because of the simple and very clear color scheme. It work perfectly for that purpose. The NYer cover with the cute kitty was a big hit too.

Easy to assemble. Very recreational. High quality

This is a well made puzzle. I like whatever material it is made from. It’s a bit sturdier and the pieces are really well cut.

Was a little concerned after reading reviews from buyers who were missing pieces, so I counted everything the moment the package arrived. It turned out perfect – the colours are beautiful and the puzzle pieces are of great quality!
