The book of chess: containing the rudiments of the game, and elementary analyses of the most popular openings
A chess instruction book by H. R. Agnel and Howard Staunton, published in New York by D. Appleton & company in 1858 for players learning the game's rudiments and openings. The pictures are plain chessboard diagrams of endgame positions with black and white pieces, drawn in crisp line and hatched squares, useful to a designer wanting clean geometric grid patterns and a monochrome board motif.
