Puzzle: Dracula in Dr. Seward's Library

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

This was not a fun puzzle. Look at that ceiling. Hmm. That's why it's 3 weeks after Hallowe'en when I am finishing it. Those in the know know that this is from drawings artist Edward Gorey did for a production of Dracula which started Granada's Holmes Jeremy Brett. Pomegranate, 500 pieces (only 500 pieces! sigh). I had Minisculus' help at the end. It was maddening.



I think I am going to jump right to my Christmas puzzle now. One of those assembly of ornaments scenes.

I'm impressed you finished it - that would have driven me completely nuts!

Thanks. In theory, I should've loved it because it was Gorey and Halloween but it wasn't fun at all really. There wasn't enough going on in the picture to make it interesting.

Oh my goodness, that's certainly not a picture I would have chosen if I were a jigsaw manufacturer!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Yes. Overall, not a satisfying experience.

Oh, that ceiling looks worse than sky!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

It was not fun, I can assure you.

Crikey…that looks hard 😳

Yes, it was difficult to the point of not being that enjoyable, to be honest.

Seeing the picture before reading your post, I had a feeling this was a Gorey print. Definitely has the same style. And I can see why it took forever to finish!

I have done other puzzles of his but they had more colors and more different patterns. This was much of the same.

I love Gorey and I love puzzles, but I do not love this particular combination of the two! Congrats on powering through and finishing!

Thank you! Yes, this tipped from Challenging into Not Fun after a while.
