A classic Michiganology puzzle available for a limited time!
This 36-piece puzzle, featuring an illustration by Oscar Warbach titled "Mother Nature," was printed, pressed, and assembled at our workshop in Lansing, Michigan. Approximate dimensions of the finished puzzle are 19" x 19". Recommended for ages 4+.
Oscar "Ozz" Warbach was a conservation illustrator of national reputation. Born in 1913 in New Jersey, he joined the Michigan Department of Conservation as a game biologist in 1941 and became the state's first conservation illustrator in 1954. He retired from the Department of Natural Resources in 1977. Warbach's illustrations and humorous caricatures of tourist behavior in Michigan's parks were meant to educate the public about the balance of nature and proper outdoor recreation etiquette.
*Disclaimer: This puzzle is hand pressed by a Michiganology team member. Therefore, each puzzle comes out differently and will not fully match the image on the puzzle's box.*
