Images from Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta 004 Jigsaw Puzzle

Created in 1561–62 by Georg Bocskay, master calligrapher in the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta (Model Book of Calligraphy) was a work of astounding beauty. Thirty years later, Ferdinand’s grandson, Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, commissioned the great illuminator Joris Hoefnagel to embellish the work with beautiful illustrations of fruits and flowers. These antique reproduction images are taken from that volume of amazing work by two great artists, arranged in illustration montages for your puzzling pleasure. Grab this design as an enchanting vintage image, for you/your friends/your family member who love the classical arts of an earlier time. This image makes a beautiful display jigsaw puzzle, after the fun of assembling it is over. Whether you call yourself a puzzler or a dissectologist, assemble jigsaws alone or with friends, use puzzles for relaxation and meditation or for entertainment, you will love the mood this design brings to your table. Our puzzles are made to your order, which is why it may take a bit longer to deliver to you.
