The game of draughts
A draughts (checkers) manual compiled by Elwood Thomas Baker and published in Chicago around 1888, aimed at players learning the game. Its pictures are plain line work: a small floral rule with a leafy border, a decorative leaf-swag ornament, and a numbered 32-square draughts board diagram, offering a designer simple botanical flourishes and a clean grid of numbered squares to borrow.
