AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique Nathan puzzle, shown in the photo, features a rectangular box with a color photograph on the front depicting a young child sitting in the grass, facing a Saint Bernard puppy. The background shows a blooming garden in natural tones. The inscription "LE BÉBÉ SAINT BERNARD" appears in yellow letters in the upper right, while the "PUZZLES NATHAN" logo is clearly visible in the lower right, guaranteeing the authenticity of the edition.

The box indicates "45 MORCEAUX" (45 PIECES), specifying the number of puzzle pieces, as well as the phrase "série nos amis" (our friends series) in the upper left. A yellow insert in the lower left mentions the presence of a poster inside ("avec un poster"), a typical feature of Nathan editions from that period.

The cover photograph, with its slightly patinated colors, evokes the photographic and graphic style of the 1970s to early 1980s, consistent with Nathan's typography and visual identity of that era. The whole is printed on a rigid cardboard surface, as evidenced by the reflections and visible structure in the image.

The box has a flat, rectangular shape, suitable for storing medium-sized puzzles. No major defects appear on the visible side: the visual is clear, without noticeable scratches or stains, and the corners of the box appear to be in good condition in the part shown.

The iconography highlights the world of childhood, with a scene of complicity between a child and a dog, typical of Nathan's educational and playful puzzles.
