Jigsaw puzzles by Jan van Haasteren, Jumbo

In the Oldtimers series, we take a look back at the early days of Jan van Haasteren’s jigsaw puzzles. It’s a touch of nostalgia, but above all a tribute to Jan van Haasteren’s incredible skill.

In this jigsaw puzzle, you’ll meet the ‘Baron van Tast tot Zeveren’. He is a comic strip character that Jan van Haasteren used to draw.

This illustration was created in 1974 and you’ll already spot several recurring elements such as: the arrow, the eyes, the bullet holes or peepholes, the squid, the mouse and the cat, as well as the famous little hands.

Buying jigsaw puzzles from Jan van Haasteren guarantees a lot of fun. The drawings are full of funny elements. Not surprisingly, the artist Jan van Haasteren is the favourite artist of many puzzle fans! Its typical elements such as the hair fin, the loose teeth and the hands can be found on all its puzzles. Have you already found it in this picture?
