EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage photograph showcases a beautifully preserved pocket chess and draughts set from the 1930s. The set consists of a compact, leather-bound case that houses a foldable board and two sets of pieces for both chess and draughts. The board is further secured with a metal holder that fixes onto the board, ensuring it remains steady during play. The pocket-sized design of this set makes it an ideal companion for travel, enabling games to be enjoyed indoors or outdoors, during long journeys or while waiting at a station or in a hotel lobby. The leather case not only protects the pieces and board but also adds an elegant touch to the set. The combination of chess and draughts in a single set is a testament to the versatility and enduring popularity of these classic strategy games. Chess, with its rich history and complex rules, has long been a favorite pastime of intellectuals and strategists, while draughts, also known as checkers, offers a simpler yet challenging gameplay for all ages. This photograph transports us back in time, evoking memories of a bygone era when travel was an adventure, and leisurely pursuits like playing pocket chess and draughts were cherished ways to pass the time. The intricate details of the set and the timeless appeal of the games continue to captivate us even today.
