I have just discovered that as well as the normal Jerome portrait, usually on a postcard, Jerome also produced jigsaws from their photos. Here is an example, shown to me by Alan Lutman. Alan wrote: |

Jigsaw "This jigsaw was made at a Jerome studio, based on a photograph supplied by a customer. From the style, I guess the picture was taken in the 1920's somewhere on the Thames. (I think the sign says boat trips to Teddington.) My wife and I have just put the jigsaw up on eBay, along with some other vintage puzzles we have."

Question "I have been given a couple of Jerome jigsaws. I haven't seen any before and am interested to learn more. - Between which years did Jerome operate? - Were they prolific producers of jigsaws? I am a jigsaw enthusiast and am always keen to collect different types, though I can't find much on the internet with regard to Jerome." Hugh, April 26, 2011 |

Thank you to Marilyn Brindley who wrote telling me about her two Jerome 100-piece wooden jigsaws from the 1930s, both of her mother: - one amongst the bluebells. - the other on a Sunday School Outing. Both are sepia photos by Jerome, hand coloured by her great-aunt Maud. |

Perhaps somebody will read these pages then send in some more information for both of us!" Marilyn Brindley: August 14, 2013 |

Nan and Mum at Grove Ferry, Kent

It has a Jerome name on it. The photo is of my mother, Winifred May Holden as a young girl, about 7 years old, with her mother Winifred Rose Holden. When I asked my mother about it, she told me that it had been taken about 1934/5 at a friend's house at Grove Ferry which is near Canterbury Kent."
