Jigsaw Puzzle of Guy’s Hospital London, with box, 1930s

A novelty jigsaw puzzle with a picture of Guy’s Hospital London, comprising thirty large interlocking pieces which make up the design, complete with the original box which has the picture on the front of the lid to act as a design guide. The motor vehicles seen here and the dress of the bystanders indicate a pre war dating probably to the 1930s. The subject matter, hardly an obvious choice for a commercial item for general sale, points to this item being used as a rehabilitation tool for a patient recovering in hospital or most likely Guy’s Hospital itself. Perhaps her name was indeed Myrtle! Similar puzzles were made by the firm ‘W.G.Evans and Sons’ and advertised as ‘specially recommended for invalids’.
Size: Box : 15cm x 10cm x 1.4cm Jigsaw has 30 pieces
Weight: 65gm
Date: 1930s
Condition: The box lid slightly worn at the edges, both the box and the jigsaw with pencil markings, the interior base with pencil letters 'MYRTLE', the underneath with remnants of a label denoting the 'sealed' status of the item.
Estimate: £10 – 20
