Jan van Haasteren puzzle 'From Below'

I made the puzzle 'Van Onderen' - this is number 1110100025, issue 4 February 2023. This is the first 1000 piece puzzle in 2023! This puzzle is drawn by Jan van Haasteren Studio Jan van Haasteren. It's this puzzle:

and this is the box:

This puzzle will also appear in 4 Pieces on February 2023, 2000, with number 1110100026.

The first puzzle of 2023 with a different numbering!

As of February 4, 2023, the numbering of all puzzles will be permanently changed. This was initiated with the puzzle 'Van Onderen' – drawn by Jan van Haasteren. So this one has the number 1110100025. That is really a very different numbering from what was always done until then. I inquired with Jumbo and got this as an answer:
“We started with ten-digit article numbers to be able to comply with unique coding for all our articles in the future.”
Special, because the puzzle ''Dia de los Muertos' (Day of the Dead Mexico)' appeared in 2023 only on March 25, 2023. However, the explanation for this is that this puzzle was already planned to be released in November 2022. And that is why this last puzzle still has the old numbering with number 20077.

Laying the puzzle

I always make the puzzle on a puzzle mat. Because I hardly ever finish it in 1 day, but it often takes several days or weeks.

Review video and recurring elements

I made a review video with recurring elements:

I found the theme less original, got a bit of a deja vu making this puzzle. The last three puzzles drawn by Jan van Haasteren are these three below. I think they are quite similar, each time they are many of the same items (cars, soapboxes and sledges):
1. Traffic chaos

2. Soap Box Race

3. From Below

How long will it take you to complete this 1000 piece puzzle?

I made the puzzle 'Van Onderen' in peace and it also took several days. Beautiful on a puzzle mat made on the floor in the living room. I do take the time, but not very precisely, it remains a hobby that puzzling! But to give you an idea how long it took me to complete this JvH puzzle of 1000 pieces:

• Explaining the pieces: 20 minutes
• Laying the edges = 25 minutes
• Laying the rest of the pieces = 5 hours and 30 minutes
• So it took me a total of 6 hours and 15 minutes to complete this puzzle. That is faster than it takes me on average over a JvH jigsaw puzzle, namely about 8 hours

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.
