Humorous scene by unknown artist depicting hounds chasing fox right onto a ferry. Imagine the commotion to follow! Victory/Artistic series puzzle made by G.J. Hayter & Sons in 1930s, plywood, interlocking, strip cut with 24 figure pieces. Hayter made jigsaw puzzles in Bournemouth, England from 1920s-1970 when Spear & Sons bought out the firm. They issued many series of puzzles, the most common being: Popular and Topical series (strip cut), Artistic (strip cut with simple figure pieces), and Super-Cut (random cut with simple figure pieces and irregular edges). After 1970, Spear focused on producing Gold Box puzzles similar to the Artistic series but more loosely cut. Replacement box; scene probably titled "Unwelcome Passengers". Artist unknown.
