Description

This antique puzzle, published by Nathan, features a charming illustrated scene titled "The Doe and Her Fawns". The box displays a colorful and detailed illustration depicting a doe and two fawns, nestled in a lush undergrowth, surrounded by green foliage and small purple flowers. The drawing style, typical of children's illustrations from the 1950s, is distinguished by its vibrant colors, soft outlines, and bucolic atmosphere.

The visual highlights the title "LA BICHE ET SES PETITS" (THE DOE AND HER FAWNS) in red letters on the upper part of the box. The bottom right corner shows "45 pièces" (45 pieces) and the name "NATHAN", confirming the manufacturer's brand, well-known for its educational and entertaining puzzles. The overall design evokes a retro aesthetic, with a dominance of natural greens and browns, accentuated by the details of the stylized flora and fauna.

The box visible in the photo appears to be in good overall condition, with no apparent tears, although slight signs of wear may be present on the edges, typical of a used item from that era. The colors of the illustration remain vibrant, and the cardboard has a usual matte appearance for old Nathan editions.

The puzzle is clearly stated as having 45 pieces, making it a suitable format for children or those who appreciate vintage puzzles with naturalistic iconography. The visible side does not show any other markings or additional indications.
