Product Description

Based on the Jules Verne classic of the same name this puzzle depicts the Nautilus submarine and two underwater explorers. Jules Verne's novel was published in 1870 and is famed for its extraordinary and accurate prediction of the submarine. In addition, the imaginative descriptions of the world under the seas created a genuine sense of awe and excitement unsurpassed in its time. Rodney Matthews, the world famous fantasy artist, has brought Verne's undersea world to life. Matthews has worked as a freelance illustrator of fantasy and science since 1970. In the '70's he painted record album covers for rock groups as well as many book covers. More than eighty of his illustrations have been published for posters and calendars. More recently, Matthews has been in demand by computer game developers and children's television shows. The puzzle is packed in a box that looks like a book and its 500 pieces create a circular image 20 in diameter.
