This...I have to say it is absolute impressive, there are no words to describe how magnificant and detailed this HUGE piece of jigsaw puzzle is. It will juxtaposes intensity and add structural rigidity to your home thus creating a creative environment of serenity. This magnificant art piece by Sir George Hyde Chamber (painted in August 1816, not to confuse with one painted by Sir Thomas Luny or Martinus Schouman) portrays the exact atmosphere that was clearly inflicted between the Anglo-Dutch Fleet against the Regency of Algiers to stop the piracy of Barbary States and to free Christian slaves (stopping practice of enslaving Europeans), it emits this feeling of an intense battle that was fought and the Anglo-Dutch fleet suffering considerable casualties (with their ship hulls damaged). Anyways, enough of me babbling about the history of this magnificant art piece, the jigsaw puzzle is craftly detailed to high resolution that it beats my oil canvas of this painting in terms of size (the quality is the same as the original canvas painting, this is just expanded but expanded in terms of High-definition which is very good and seen a few that surpasses such image quality on a jigsaw puzzle).
Bottom line: Excellent purchase, this puzzle could be your magnificant jigsaw piece you ever done in life (not talking to those who done Keith Haring's 32,000 jigsaw puzzle, now thats crazy!), this will add those classical masters from the 19th century which will impress your house guest when they walk in (certainly impress my guest of my oil canvas and this jigsaw). Again, this puzzle is HUGE~! you must get some ravensburger surface glue at least, or some sort of a surface glue and make a frame, below is the youtube link of what it will ACTUALLY look like (as it did for me, huge art piece). This will consume your time alot unless you got a plan to tackle this (which nobody has including me :] ). Go match the borders and work your way from there. You will not regret this purchase, actually this type of puzzle is going out of production soon (I saw the 3,000 Bombardment of Algiers jigsaw but I wonder why they put that out of production? hmmm) This is absolutely worth it, best purchase of your life (coming from a person who owns this huge piece with the exact oil canvas of the exact painting :] )
