The Brooklyn Bridge as evening falls, with the lit towers of Lower Manhattan behind it and the light trails of traffic across the deck. This panoramic puzzle has 1000 pieces and is almost three times as wide as it is tall.
The panoramic format decides how you work: the border alone is a metre long, and the hundreds of lit windows in the skyscrapers ask you to sort on nuance rather than on colour. The cables of the bridge run through the image as a clear line and help you on your way.
Finished, the puzzle measures 98 x 33 cm, a format that stands out above a sofa or a desk. The image belongs to Clementoni's Panorama series and the pieces are made in Italy.
An obvious gift for anyone who knows New York or still wants to go, and for puzzlers who have had enough of the ordinary rectangle.
