The art of chess-play: a new treatise on the game of chess

Walker, George, 1803-1879 · 1846 · London, Sherwood, Gilbert & Piper · 3 pictures

A chess manual by George Walker, published in London by Sherwood, Gilbert & Piper in 1846 for club and amateur players. Wood-engraved diagrams show flat hatched boards with the full opening array, perspective views of endgame positions casting shadows, and a street view of the publisher's shopfront — useful for board grids, piece silhouettes, and shop-facade line work.
