EDITORS COMMENTS
The Irish Chess Association at Belfast (engraving) captures a moment of intellectual camaraderie and strategic brilliance. This 19th-century masterpiece, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases the esteemed members of the Irish Chess Association gathered in Belfast. The image transports us back to a time when board games were not merely pastimes but avenues for mental stimulation and social connection. The distinguished gentlemen depicted here are deeply engrossed in their game, their faces reflecting intense concentration and determination. Amongst this assembly of chess enthusiasts are notable figures such as Peake, W. Nicholls, J. D. Chambers, A. Burn, William Steen, James Neill, S. J. Magowan, R. Barnett, W. H. K Pollock, W. C Palmer, R. W Barnett - each contributing their unique skills and strategies to the match. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on October 23rd 1886 - a testament to its historical significance and widespread recognition during that era. As we gaze upon this scene today from our private collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform; we cannot help but appreciate the timeless appeal of chess as an art form that transcends borders and unites minds across nations. Let this print serve as a reminder of the power of intellect and human connection through shared passions.
