The ‘Michael Storrings Springtime at the Library’ captures The Public Library on Fifth Avenue in New York City in [puzzle form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intricate-jigsaw-puzzle). Michael Storrings is an “award-winning designer, illustrator, and creative director,” as mentioned in the description, whose illustrations capture the beauty of New York. Puzzle players can easily differentiate the [double-sided pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edge-piece-puzzle) as one side has a matte finish, and the other has a shiny finish.

The two illustrations feature the back and front of the Public Library. Bryant Park can be seen bustling with people from families out for a stroll, business people walking around in suits, to dog walkers taking their pets out by the Josephine Shaw Lowell Memorial Fountain. On the flip side, people are illustrated in the [iconic yellow New York taxis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chess-nyc), biking down the street, and grabbing a bite from a hotdog stand.
