The Wizard of Oz 100 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

This is a 100-piece jigsaw puzzle featuring a vibrant and detailed illustration inspired by Frank L. Baum's 'The Wizard of Oz'. The puzzle box top, as depicted, showcases the complete artwork. The central figures, Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, are prominently featured on the Yellow Brick Road. Surrounding them is a fantastical landscape with various characters from the story, including several Munchkins, figures resembling Glinda the Good Witch (in a bubble on the left), and the Wicked Witch of the West (on the right). The background features the Emerald City with its distinctive green spires, fluffy white clouds, a hot air balloon, and a rainbow. The colors are rich and saturated, with a predominant use of blues, greens, and yellows for the landscape and path, complemented by the colorful attire of the characters. The illustration style appears to be classic storybook art, possibly from the 1970s or 1980s, given the aesthetic. The box itself is made of cardboard and has '100 PIECE JIGSAW PUZZLE' printed in white text on a black rectangle in the upper left corner. Visible condition issues include some minor corner wear and slight creasing typical of an older used item, but the overall image on the box cover remains clear and intact. There are no visible manufacturer's marks or signatures on the face of the box in the provided image.
