...and wondered if there were such depraved
and depraving things
as pornographic jigsaw puzzles.
Of course there are!
Some are artistic, and not really pornographic.

| Egon Schiele: Self-portrait, 1916 |
 |
| Struggle, by Sabina Nedelcheva-Williams |
And of course there are jigsaws for queer guys
without artistic or anthropological bent.
And for Biblical Scholars.
 |
| Abraham circumcising himself, Alba Bible, 1430. |
Also from the Catalan semi-Sephardic Alba Bible,
but not as yet a jigsaw, Joshua circumcising the Israelites
who, for reasons of hygiene and/or practicality, had not
been circumcised during the forty years of wandering
in the wilderness. Here he is at the Hill of Foreskins
performing his gory religious duty.
It's amazing how one thing can lead to another,
especially on the World Wide Web.
I must now investigate Ms Nedelcheva-Williams...
Footnote: After the second world war in Europe the number of circumcisions went into huge decline, not only due to the lack of Jews, but also because of resistance to the long-fashionable American fad, as to the other (shorter-lasting) fad of 'frontal lobotomy'.
