EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Game of Chess" transports us back to the early twentieth century, immersing us in a world of playful felines and strategic board games. Created by George H. Hughes, this colour lithograph is a delightful illustration for The Little Folks Favourite Album in Colour by H Hamer. The image showcases two adorable kittens engrossed in an intense game of chess on a beautifully crafted chessboard. Their curious expressions and poised postures reveal their dedication to outwitting each other with every move. As we observe these furry competitors, we can't help but be enchanted by their innocence and determination. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph bring life to the scene, enhancing our appreciation for the intricate details of the artwork. The contrasting hues highlight not only the cats' fur but also the intricacies of the chess pieces on the board. "A Game of Chess" reminds us that even animals possess intelligence and engage in activities that challenge their minds. It serves as a testament to both our fascination with wildlife and our love for parlour games that have entertained generations throughout history. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images captures a moment frozen in time—a whimsical glimpse into an era where artistry met imagination, leaving behind an enduring legacy for all who appreciate fine art and its ability to transport us across time and space.
