Everyone had the same idea—and no one’s mad about it. On the sweltering July cover of The New Yorker circa July 8, 1939, artist Richard Taylor captures a pre-war beach scene packed to the gills with sunseekers doing everything under the sun. Literally.
It’s a riot of seaside joy: towels layered like a patchwork quilt, striped umbrellas casting lopsided shade, children dashing toward the waves, and friends passing sandwiches and stories. This isn’t a peaceful beach day—it’s a gloriously crowded one, full of life, laughter, and the glorious hum of a summer escape.
With 1000 pieces, the puzzle Beachgoing offers a satisfying challenge for anyone who loves vintage art, people-watching, or the nostalgic bustle of city dwellers taking to the shore. You’ll find something new in every corner—sunburned shoulders, gossiping couples, splashing swimmers, and ice cream held just a second too long.
A puzzle that buzzes with energy, warmth, and that timeless feeling of being part of something sunny and shared. Dive in—there’s room for one more.
