EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming Victorian-era image of two adorable kittens engaged in a playful game of chess. Dressed in their finest, these feline friends, one tabby and the other ginger, display an uncanny resemblance to human players with their paws delicately poised on the chessboard. The red and white chess pieces, intricately detailed, add an air of sophistication to the scene. The kittens' curious expressions and the red ribbon adorning the chessboard lend an air of celebration, making this an ideal New Year's card. This photograph, taken circa 1890s, is a testament to the timeless appeal of cats and the enduring popularity of the game of chess. The David Pearson Collection/Mary Evans Picture Library preserves this precious piece of history, allowing us to appreciate the whimsy and wonder of the past.
