1500, Educa, Carta General Conteniendo los Mundos Celeste, Terrestre y Civil de N. Jaugeon. Año de 1688.

This is a very nice puzzle that very rarely appears outside of Spain. The title is Carta General Conteniendo los Mundos Celeste, Terrestre y Civil de N. Jaugeon. Año de 1688. The publisher is the Instituto Geográfico Nacional of Spain, or National Geographic Institute. This Institute is linked to the Spanish Ministry of Public Works and Transports (Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Transportes or MOPT), which later became the Ministerio de Fomento. Although it is not visible in the box, there is a very tiny statement that says that the manufacturer was Educa. In fact, the puzzle connoisseur would probably guess it by the design of the box. That means that the National Geographic Institute published the puzzle, but Educa actually produced it in their premises.

The puzzle is NEW, with its original FACTORY SEAL. There is a  large tear in the seal, as you can see in the photograph.

Another puzzle by the Instituto Geográfico Nacional of Spain is the 800 piece version of Map of Juan de la Cosa.
