New York City 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

A skyline everyone can identify and almost nobody can assemble without swearing.

Manhattan is the most photographed cityscape on earth and the most punishing to put together, because a wall of towers at night is thousands of small bright rectangles on a dark ground and very little else. The windows do not repeat quite enough to be a pattern and repeat far too much to be distinct.

Build the silhouette first, then work inward, and accept that the middle will take longer than the rest combined. Clementoni's HQ Compact line, so the finished puzzle is standard size but the box is not.

Perfect for: Someone who has been to New York once and mentions it regularly.
