Jan van Haasteren Puzzle 'Get well soon'

If you are looking for the Jan van Haasteren Puzzle of 1000 pieces called 'Van Harte Get well soon (get well soon)' – number 01650, it is this one:

Jan van Haasteren has made a very nice puzzle of a hospital and what can happen there. With a lot of fun elements in it of course. You see the familiar situations or items from the hospital: people in waiting rooms, doctors in white coats, people being transported on hospital beds, doctors and nurses, flowers being taken. Very recognizable! Fortunately, Jan was able to make a nice puzzle out of this. Also very nice to give to someone who is in the hospital for a longer period of time (and of course can do puzzles).

What is special about this puzzle?

This 1000 piece puzzle does not always consist of 1000 pieces! The older variants of this puzzle have 36 by 28 rows of pieces and that is 1008 pieces. The newest puzzles have 40 by 25 rows and that is exactly 1000 pieces.

What do you encounter when you have made this Jan van Haasteren jigsaw puzzle?

First off, I made a general 'review' with all sorts of fun things that caught my eye, check them out in the following video:

I started by explaining all the pieces on a puzzle mat. Then I immediately sort out the straight sides. Here you see the result of the sorting, always hoping that I didn't forget 1 side piece:

And yes, as is often the case, 1 side piece is missing. And then the question is always whether you have not selected properly or whether you are really missing 1 piece. I bought or traded this puzzle via Facebook marketplace. I often look to see if I can find the piece, but at a certain point I stop:

I must say that this was one of the few puzzles that didn't puzzle so well. I couldn't really make 'quick' strokes or immediately find planes or blocks to puzzle with. I got stuck several times that I didn't know where to start puzzling. I hadn't had it before. Although it is a very nice puzzle, most certainly! And it's Jan van Haasteren's favorite… But I also describe the making of this puzzle a few weeks later, so it is no longer very fresh in my mind what and how I did it. It must all be part of this puzzle. As you can see, I started sorting by color and placed the doors at the top of the hospital and collected the blue pieces from the man on the treadmill. This is the result after 1 hours of puzzling:

As you can see, I do a messy puzzle, and put all kinds of pieces together inside the puzzle that belong there.

I see that my two photos are very different in color. Sometimes you take a picture in the evening when you've done the puzzle and then it apparently turns quite bluish. This is the result after 5,5 hours of puzzling:

And finally, this puzzle is finished:

Also about JvH's jigsaw puzzle 'Van Harte Beterschap'

Important to know, this is Jan van Haasteren's favorite puzzle! You can also see that in the puzzle 3-in-1 combi box 'anniversary box' in other words 'Jan van Haasteren 30 years':

As you can see in the image above, it says 'Jan's Favorite' above it. This box was released because Jan van Haasteren had been making puzzles for Jumbo for 30 years. Jan van Haasteren was asked about his favorite puzzle. And then it was set up. That became the puzzle 'Get well soon'. Curious about Jan van Haasteren's favorite character in the puzzles? That's Santa Claus!

Description	This puzzle is part of a set of four puzzles published by the New Zealand puzzle manufacturer Holdson Funny World (HFW)This puzzle is numbered 08126, as are three other puzzles in this set. For more information about this entire set, please visit the "Holdson's Funny World puzzles 08126This puzzle is rare because all of them were released in New Zealand. It's also more of a collector's item, as all the plates/drawings from these puzzles were also released in a Jumbo version in the Netherlands. There's a set of older puzzles published by Holdson Funny World—and these boxes all look different from the current, recognizable blue Jumbo puzzle boxes. Many of these boxes have multiple bright colors. A total of 48 of these older puzzles were published by Holdson Funny World (HFW), and these are therefore the rarer ones. You hardly ever see these puzzles on marketplaces like Marktplaats. You really have to look on second-hand puzzle trading platforms near New Zealand and Australia. The downside: if you want to buy one, you have to pay a lot of import duties, and the puzzle often takes a long time to arrive. To this day, Jan van Haasteren puzzles are still published in the familiar blue puzzle box. These puzzles in the familiar blue boxes are NOT rare; you can easily order them from an online store in New Zealand. This puzzle, "Get Well Soon," number 08126, is rare. However, the illustration isn't, as "Get Well Soon" was also released by other brands, such as Jumbo. Its release by HFW makes it rare and often an instant collector's item. It comes in a beautiful, colorful box with these four colors on the four sides: blue, green, red, and pink. The back of the box shows which four puzzles belong to the "set" numbered 08126.

About Jumbo puzzles

Jumbo (not to be confused with our supermarket Jumbo!) makes toys, games and puzzles. Jumbo, for example, has made the very well-known games such as “Human don't get annoyed” and “Stratego” and “PimPamPet”. Games that have been around for generations and are still widely played by both young and old. Jumbo has been making and developing toys since about 1900. In the early years of the company, only toys from other countries were imported to the Netherlands. However, since about 1930 it was decided to also make their own toys, at the time manufacturing wooden toys, which was very popular at the time. Almost all toys in those years were made of wood. An important spearhead was that the toys made by Jumbo had to be of very good quality; it had to be as strong as an Elephant. An elephant had to stand on it! The red elephant has been the hallmark of Jumbo's games and puzzles for years. The name Jumbo and the red elephant together form the logo from about 1935. The Jumbo elephant is drawn by Mr. Möhr. He worked at an advertising agency and regularly signed for Hausemann & Hötte. Mr Möhr was at one point commissioned to design a beautiful new elephant logo for the Hausemann & Hötte toys. The logo has changed a bit since then. For example, the eye has grown over the years and has dropped slightly more, resulting in a friendlier elephant.

In the past, the elephant was not only used in the color red, but in all kinds of colors such as blue, yellow, black, white and green. All those colors were cozy and playful. For example, one time there was a yellow elephant on the box and the other time a red one. It was usually looked at which color best matched the color of the box. It was not until the end of the 60s that the red elephant was definitively chosen. Red is a color that stands out and attracts attention.

From 1945 Jumbo also started to focus on games made of cardboard. Jumbo has therefore been a guarantee for strong quality for years! Jumbo is a unique Dutch company with a rich history, with its head office in Zaandam. About 130 employees work for Jumbo. With a turnover of €75 million, Jumbo is a medium-sized European player in toys. Jumbo has sales offices in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. They export to more than 25 countries around the world.

In 1980 Jumbo starts the production of Jan van Haasteren Puzzles.
