Artist:  N/A

Number of Pieces: 1000

Size:  27" x 20"

Poster included:  No

What I liked:  A very colorful image and a challenging puzzle to assemble.  There are many similar colors and textures in different places.

What I didn't like:  A poster would have been nice, the photo on the box is not quite good enough to be useful without a magnifying glass.

Some Amazon reviewers complained about flimsy pieces.  I found the pieces to be very good, reasonably thick, and sturdy.  The fit was good enough (but not good enough to pick the puzzle up by the edges).
