Civil War - Civil war chess set 1861 Postcard
Colourized photo from 1861
Original Title: Headquarters of 164th NY Infantry
Photographer: Mathew Brady
Location: New York
Isn't it interesting the types of things they would drag into war? I know there was downtime, and there were times to play with things, but chess? All those pieces, so easy to lose. Cards makes sense, dominoes are easy to transport, but chess was something they took with them. I suppose it makes just as much sense as bringing large wood trunks, or desk sets. Or those fancy carpets they would put in the tent.
Anyway, this image was taken to capture Col. James P McMahon, he's the one facing us, with what I assume is his family behind him. The others just seem to be spectators of some kind. You know, photographic fodder.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for.
I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording.
Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
