An 1864 instructional manual on draughts by D. Scattergood, published in New York by Dick and Fitzgerald for amateur players learning openings and endgames. Wood-engraved board diagrams pair numbered squares with checkered grids of hatched and outlined discs, set beside dense columns of move notation; useful as ready-made grid patterns, halftone-like crosshatch textures, and numeral-filled tabular page layouts.
