This image was scanned-in from a nearly
pristine copy of the 1888 article Chess
in America by Henry Sedley:
from Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Volume 76, Issue 454, March 1888. This is the full-size scan in greyscale. Adjustments to the image have been made to remove the bluish-looking grey background that resulted from the slightly-yellowed page of the original image. But only the background was adjusted: the image itself is a fully faithful copy of the original. Please click here to return to the main page (with the size-adjusted images).
