EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Playing at Draughts" we are transported back to the 19th century, immersing ourselves in a scene of leisure and camaraderie. The English School artist skillfully captures a moment of intense concentration as two individuals engage in a game of draughts, also known as checkers. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched with precision brings life to the characters and their surroundings. The expressions on their faces reveal both determination and enjoyment, reflecting the timeless appeal of this classic board game. This print is part of a private collection, cherished for its historical significance and artistic merit. It was originally created as an illustration for "The Pictorial History of England" by W & R Chambers in 1858, showcasing how games like draughts have been enjoyed throughout generations. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, we can now appreciate this image with enhanced clarity and vibrancy. Bridgeman Images has meticulously cleaned the original artwork while preserving its authenticity.
