Lady on a Zebra | 500-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle
Lady on a Zebra 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.
A.E. Marty crafted one of Vogue’s most fantastical covers with a sure hand and clean lines. At first glance the reader might not even notice that this modestly dressed, veiled, behatted, and bepearled adventuress sits astride a rearing zebra, rather than a steed, as three giraffes wander in the distance. Here was an imaginative “fashion travelogue” that spoke to the issue’s theme, Southern Fashions—“the great migration to sunny climes”—and “those small accents of so vast importance to chic—the wearing of the scarf, the tilting of the hat, and similar weighty details” that add to the element of fantasy in fashion. This cover inspired the editors of the New York Herald Tribune to pen an essay on the combination of “convention and novelty” and the “juxtaposition of old matter and fresh forms.” Vogue both contributed to and reported on (sometimes with a wink) the great changes happening in the 1920s. In response to the paper’s editorial, the magazine stressed “Vogue’s desire to promote all that is new in art . . . regardless of whether it belongs to the literal school of art or to the imaginative school—a school that can not be explained accurately through the medium of words.”
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
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
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.
