Visible text includes a Welsh Red Dragon emblem, place names such as Aberystwyth, Cardigan Bay, Swansea, and Cardiff. Poetic lines „Land of my fathers! Thou Eden of bards And birthplace of song, The sons of thy mountains Are stalwart & strong“ are present, translating from a portion of the Welsh national anthem, „Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.“ Other text includes a quote attributed to „WORDSWORTH“ and the signature „M.F. Peck.“ The puzzle pieces themselves appear to be largely present.
