    Welcome to the new members of the Maps & Supplement Group.  I hope you didn't have to wait too long before being granted access.

    ** for the MAP & Geography enthusiasts here at our 'Corner ---->

    Jigsaw puzzles were first created out of maps to test children’s geography knowledge.

    Lore has it that John Spilsbury, a London cartographer, and engraver is believed to have produced the first "jigsaw" puzzle around 1760. It was a map glued to a flat piece of wood and then cut into pieces following the lines of the countries.

    (this was all new & interesting info. for me this week!)
