Interesting. I came across several jigsaws of typical village landscapes 
that appeared suspiciously computer-generated. (I.e., done poorly.)

I guess in the modern age, so few jigsaws get sold that people have to

Yup. Standard Poser cat pose if I'm not mistaken.

But the lower edge of the thatched roof is indeed the worst element in
