maker: Isabel Ayer
brand: Picture Puzzle Exchange

Picture Puzzle Exchange puzzle cut in 1920/30 by Isabel Ayer, Boston, MA, plywood, non-interlocking, extensive color line cutting. From Act II, "Romeo and Juliet" in which Romeo appears below Juliet's balcony carrying a guitar, as if he means to serenade her. I am skeptical of this modern depiction of the balcony scene, but cutting is superb! Artist: unknown.
