What in the world was happening on that special day? Simply choose a date and you will be 400 pieces away from finding out!

PLEASE NOTE:
Any date prior to 28th September 1952 had a front cover that featured a list of classified adverts (i.e. old-fashioned births, deaths and marriages etc.) and not the common news format we see today. For The Observer, the last front page edition with just ads on the cover was the 25th October 1942.
To help complete each puzzle, a full-size guide image of the front cover is included.
If your date lands on a Sunday, you will be presented with The Observer Newspaper rather than the Guardian.
