York Coach Passing the Old Queen's Head

Early 20th century, solid wood jigsaw puzzle, marketed by this famous London store, but likely cut by nearby William Peacock and Sons.
The label promotes this as being puzzle number 32, along with being one of their "Famous Old Coaching Scenes (Dickens Period)", so there may have been other similar puzzles available. The artist here is John Charles Maggs (British,1819-1896), well known for dramatic coaching scene paintings such as this.
See also this Tormentum example marketed by the nearby Gamages store. It features another J.C. Maggs painting and almost identical labelling, along with the same number!
