This 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle titled “Palm Springs” is based on the artwork of Eric Dowdle. This artwork showcases the rich history of the greater Palm Springs Valley area of Southern California. It pays homage to some of the Native American tribes that inhabited the region, its mild climate and lush oasis, its reputation as a glamourous retreat for many Hollywood stars, and its mid-century modern, “groovy” architecture that attracts visitors from around the world to this desert paradise. Eric Dowdle was born the tenth of 12 children to a family of storytellers. He has traveled the world to discover fascinating people and places to include in his art. Each Dowdle puzzle has a colorful story to tell. Every Buffalo Games jigsaw puzzle is manufactured from recycled puzzle board. A precision cutting technique guarantees that every piece will fit soundly with the company's signature Perfect Snap™. A bonus puzzle poster is also included so that you have a handy reference of what the completed puzzle should look like while you put yours together.
