Sobre este artículo
Edward Peacock, a Baptist minister and carpenter, began to produce his 'Peacock Puzzles' in 1853, having learnt his craft from the well-known publisher and map-dissector Edward Wallis in London during the 1830s. Prior to this, Peacock had travelled to Australia in 1841, becoming a policeman, schoolteacher, missionary, and finally postmaster. Upon his return to England in 1853 he established the company Peacock & Co. making children's furniture, toys and dissected maps. In 1861, his son, William, took over the company, expanding it to become one of the world's leading producers of wooden puzzles.
