About the Image

We found this image through Wikimedia which details it as one of the thousands of free-use images of Boston Public Library and thought it would be a great complement to our other images. We aren’t the only ones, as this image was the most popular of our Kickstarter campaign. This comes as no surprise since retro, classic, and familiar images often go hand-in-hand with jigsaw puzzles. 

We’d like to say plainly that we are not out to romanticize the past! That being said, there are so many things about this image that still accurately represent what is wonderful about Oakland. A lot could be said to interpret these images, but we will simply call attention to the gorgeous geographic and architectural features of our city that allow us to enjoy a wide range of activities in this beautiful place.
