EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph by Joseph Strutt, titled "Board Games of Chess and Tables (Backgammon)" from his renowned publication "Sports and Pastimes of the People of England," published by Chatto and Windus in London in 1876, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of medieval leisure activities. The image depicts a lively scene of knights in full armor engaged in intense games of chess and backgammon. The chessboard, with its intricately carved pieces, is set up on a portable table, while the backgammon table, adorned with intricate designs, is positioned in front of a military encampment. The knights, with their lances and shields at their side, are deeply focused on their games, their expressions revealing a mix of determination and enjoyment. The presence of the encampment underscores the military context of the scene, highlighting the importance of strategy and mental agility in both war and recreation. The handcoloured lithograph, with its rich details and vibrant colours, transports us back to the 14th century, offering a unique window into the pastime and entertainment of the time. The illustration serves as a testament to the enduring popularity of board games, particularly chess and backgammon, and their ability to bring people together, regardless of time or place.
