Jigsaw Puzzle
In 1880, Milton Bradley made the first jigsaw puzzle for children The Smashed Up Locomotive.’ By printing a lithograph of a steam engine locomotive and cutting it into pieces, the ‘smashed up’ effect was achieved when a child opened the box and saw the locomotive all in pieces. Because of his Puritan upbringing, Bradley’s nature was to seek order. Therefore, the object of the ‘The Smashed Up Locomotive’ was to make the locomotive whole once again.
