Two color lithographs mounted on plywood boards and cut into twenty-four pieces that can be joined together.

Stains (dark stain to top left corner). Small part missing from one of the puzzle pieces (with damage to text). 2. Punition D'Aman / Punicion De Aman [Haman's Punishment]. Illustration showing Haman being led to the king and followed by the gallows. Beneath the illustration is an explanatory caption in French and Spanish. Board approx. 24.5X32 cm. Good-fair condition.
