Wentworth, 500 pieces. Whimsy designs often trade in cultural stereotypes; this time we get a look at what British designers think about Americans/New Yorkers. I was most struck by the presence of the policeman. In more puzzle-specific notes, an unusual engraved non-whimsy is also coupled with a human whimsy. 3/5

| three taxis on upper left; policeman down & to their right; apparently Americans/New Yorkers are really into the saxophone, as it appears both on its own and with a human whimsy; also shown: hot dog, hamburger, baseball, baseball cap, football, and almighty dollar sign. And for some reason, possibly Groucho Marx? |
