Backgammon and draughts (or checkers)
A players' handbook on backgammon and draughts by George Frederick Pardon, issued in New York by F. A. Stokes Co. in 1888 for amateur gamers. The 46 wood-engraved diagrams show eight-by-eight boards with hatched dark squares and small stacked disc-shaped men, giving designers ready-made checkerboard grids, halftone-free line shading, and simple top-lit counter motifs.
