Founded in 2007 by Adam Silver and Sarah Dickinson, New York Puzzle Company is based in Brooklyn, New York. The college friends began with a jigsaw puzzle of the New York City subway map. Their range centers on illustration, classic book art, and nostalgic images chosen to make everyday puzzling engaging. Recycled puzzle board and USA production reflect the company’s focus on thoughtful materials and domestic manufacturing.

Beaus and Bows | 500-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

Beaus and Bows is a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle with a finished size of 18 × 24 inches. It turns the featured illustration into a tabletop activity for puzzlers aged 10 and up, following the manufacturer’s age recommendation.

She turns away in a sweep of spring green, an oversized checkered bow blooming at her back and a painted fan held high like a shield. Long black gloves, a tilt of the chin, and not a second to spare for the bespectacled gentleman bowing hopefully in the corner. This is fashion as theater, and she is unmistakably the star.

The scene first appeared on the April 15, 1923 Paris Fashions Number, where the magazine mused that fashion can be a form of seduction, and that the real heartbreaker is not the courteous beau but a dress with one of those bows "that came to the aid of the ladies of 1880." Style, as the editors put it, follows the women who set the mode by upsetting it: when such a one buys, the coach turns into a pumpkin, "and-But Cinderella's never caught." Rendered in crisp Art Deco lines and rich color, the 500 piece solve is a satisfying challenge that rewards a patient eye for pattern and detail.

It makes a charming gift for fashion lovers, vintage devotees, and anyone who appreciates a little wit with their elegance.

Use the box illustration as a visual reference and leave room around the finished image for sorting loose pieces. Group recognizable colors, borders, and image details, then connect small sections as the picture takes shape. Work alone or share sections with another suitable puzzler; the image and the puzzler’s experience will influence the pace of assembly.

Materials and construction

The manufacturer describes its puzzles as thick, 100% recycled chipboard printed with soy-based inks and finished with a linen-style surface to reduce glare. The board gives the image a firm paperboard backing for tabletop assembly, while the lightly textured finish helps keep the printed artwork comfortable to view under ordinary room lighting.

Care and storage

Keep the cardboard pieces and box dry. Handle pieces with clean, dry hands, use a clean tabletop, and avoid drinks or food near the work area. Brush away loose dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not immerse or wet-clean the board. Separate pieces carefully after use and return them to the box for storage away from moisture and direct sunlight. These are practical storage suggestions for a paperboard puzzle; follow any care instructions supplied with your item.
