EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches at the International Chess Tournament" takes us back to a momentous event in history. Created by Alfred Courbould, this print captures the intense atmosphere of a chess battle unfolding on a grand scale. The scene is set amidst the midnight hours in London, where chess players from around the world have gathered for an epic tournament. The artist's meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness every aspect of this intellectual battlefield. We see players engrossed in their game, heads bent over boards as they strategize their next move. Amidst the intensity of play, an onlooker observes with fascination while others engage in lively conversation and recreation. The image showcases not only the great masters like Mackenzie and Zukertort but also lesser-known participants who contribute to this extraordinary gathering. Courbould's skillful rendering extends beyond mere human subjects; he includes various animals such as birds and fowls that seem subservient witnesses to this remarkable event. Their presence adds an intriguing layer of symbolism and intrigue. Through this engraving, we are transported into a world where minds clash and battles are fought without physical weapons but with intellect alone. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure of chess - a game that transcends time and borders, bringing people together through its universal language.
