Lovers, Muktair Oladoja

 Liberty, 504 pieces. Nicely challenging image with multipiece animal whimsies that mostly stand up (I imagine this could be done with a lot of the table-and-chairs ones too). 4/5

Across the Ferry

 Chad Valley, 203 pieces. Classic Chad Valley style with very round connectors and often some cutting that disguised the holes they fit into. 3/5

Christmas Sophisticate

 Carol Ottenberg, 78 pieces. Small but detailed hand-cut puzzle with color line cutting around the dog. Plywood that is a little friable with age. A fun treat! 3/5

Vines Amongst the Rockies, Brad Gorman

 Liberty, 526 pieces. Another lovely image with Colorado nature-themed whimsies. 3/5

trampling on the Liberty eagle?

Tropical Fish

 Wooden City, 1000 pieces. Trades on Etsy as Mobimods; Polish produced. Smells exactly like Wentworth and seems basically identical in quality, which is impressive for a new producer, though there was some darkening on the yellow edge pieces of this puzzle. 3/5

multipiece mermaid

a closer look at one section; you can see a little burning at the top right edge

Neptune's Horses, Walter Crane

 Nautilus, 404 pieces. Another puzzle with slightly unusual proportion, with the Nautilus style of sort of jagged/interpenetrating whimsies. 3/5

It's Raining Cats and Dogs, Rebecca Campbell

 Liberty, 470 pieces. Cute image with some subtle color variations in the background and tons of dog & cat whimsies! 4/5
