EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage engraving from 1890, we are transported back to the prestigious International Chess Congress held in Liverpool. The image captures some of the chief members of the renowned Liverpool Chess Club, a group of esteemed individuals who were passionate about the game of chess. Amongst them, we see Mr. Harris, Mr. B. Barber, Rev. H. H. Higgins, Mr. C. H. Cox, and Mr. S. Wright engrossed in deep concentration as they strategize their next moves on the chessboard. The composition exudes a Victorian charm with its intricate engravement and illustrative technique that was popular during the 19th century era. At the forefront stands Mr. A. Burn, serving as the president of this esteemed club while Reverend J. Owen and Mr. J. Gallagher engage in an animated discussion nearby. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into a bygone era where intellectual pursuits like chess were highly regarded forms of entertainment and social interaction. As we admire this historic art piece meticulously engraved by Howard Sinclair, it serves as a reminder of how culture and arts have evolved over time while still retaining their timeless appeal. With its retro-styled aesthetic and nostalgic charm, this print is not just an ordinary photograph but rather a window into history that allows us to appreciate both the skillful craftsmanship behind it and the rich heritage it represents.
