Civil War - Civil war chess set 1861 Postcard
Colourized photo from 1861
Original Title: Headquarters of 164th NY Infantry
Photographer: Mathew Brady
Location: New York
Isn't it interesting the types of things they would drag into war? I know there was downtime, and there were times to play with things, but chess? All those pieces, so easy to lose. Cards makes sense, dominoes are easy to transport, but chess was something they took with them. I suppose it makes just as much sense as bringing large wood trunks, or desk sets. Or those fancy carpets they would put in the tent.
Anyway, this image was taken to capture Col. James P McMahon, he's the one facing us, with what I assume is his family behind him. The others just seem to be spectators of some kind. You know, photographic fodder.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.

These cards are great quality, I use them as enclosure cards for my business! Hey are a little pricey but you definitely get the quality and professionalism! Repurchased a few times now and will continue to do so :). Beautiful, nice sheen on them, sharp and clear
