Every room lit up, every family member accounted for, and the Christmas Eve chaos in full, glorious swing: all the magic of the holidays, seen from the outside looking in.
The front door is just opening. Children are arriving with a Christmas tree. And inside, through the walls of the house, every room tells its own story: a family trimming the tree in the parlor, someone rushing through the kitchen, the upstairs hallway full of last-minute preparations.
Edna Eicke's December 21, 1946 New Yorker cover is a masterpiece of domestic Christmas chaos, rendered in the warmly naive folk style of mid-century illustration. A returning fan favorite, previously available as a 500-piece puzzle, this beloved image is back in a new 100-piece mini format. The cross-section composition, a house opened like a dollhouse to reveal every room at once, is endlessly charming and full of hidden moments, assembling quickly and satisfyingly.
A perfect gift for New Yorker fans, Christmas enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever stood outside a lit-up house on a winter evening and felt the pull of everything happening inside.
Finished puzzle size measures 7 x 9 inches and is recommended for ages 10 and up. Made in the USA and features a linen-style finish to reduce glare.
The covers of The New Yorker have entertained and enlightened the magazine's readers for nearly a century. With unmatched visual sophistication and wit, they let no subject escape their scrutiny. A roster of extraordinary artists continues to create indelible images that are infinitely varied in style and tone, whether whimsical, provocative, serene, or laugh-out-loud funny.
