Combining history, aesthetics and anthropology, these volumes present an array of chess sets from around the world, some by named sculptors, but many the work of unknown artisans. Facts about each country and personal anecdotes from the author’s extensive travels complement and contextualize the illustrations of chess pieces in materials ranging from wood and metal to whalebone and palm leaves.
