The Chess Players, or The Game of Life. Original 1855 publication of the famous print depicting a young man playing the Devil for his soul. It's pretty rare, take a look.

Well, bookster7, (Did I miss your name?)
Despite my thinking that my recent goodbye to our beloved group moderator Kristjan would be my last posting for a while.... and despite my own self-imposed retreat from this group over the last few weeks/months..... and despite a true lack of time due to recent moving activities... you have lured me back into discussion with that great referral of a picture!
That chess related picture is just about my favorite. I love that picture - and for many reasons. However, I will practice brevity (at least for the moment, and in anticipation of a possible New Year's Resolution... and yes, for all you masses who visit this ebay group.... hold your collective breath...! 😉 ) And I will restrain from getting into too many details (about why I think that picture is absolutely great) as I usually do.
Ciao for now! John of Vermont.
