Nouveau traité du jeu des échecs
A chess treatise by Louis Charles de La Bourdonnais, published in Brussels by Hauman et Cie in 1842 in French, aimed at chess players studying problems and endgames. The four pictures are diagrams of chess positions drawn on squared boards with lettered pieces, set in plain engraved frames with figure numbers, so a designer could borrow the grid and the bold serif piece letters as a graphic motif.
