Puzzles are a highly educational, fun challenge--perfect for a rainy day, for a child or adult who enjoys very focused activities. Or, iff space allows, they can sit on a table for weeks while being added to slowly. Photomosaics are puzzles made up of hundreds of small pictures arranged in such a way that the overall image is of one picture. The concept of mosaics dates back some five thousand years. Rob Silvers, famous for creating digital mosaics (some of which hang in museums), created the Lincoln mosaic from thousands of black-and-white photographs. Each piece (1,000 total) has a finely etched picture that ultimately makes up part of Lincoln's face. This puzzle is not for beginners; it's for the devoted puzzler who likes to be distracted by details along the way. --Sandy Hirsch
From the Manufacturer
Robert Silvers created a new technology that changed the nature of art, photography, and computer graphics. This development, called Photomosaics, is a method of arranging thousands of tiny photographs that, when viewed from a distance, combine to form a single larger image.
