Thanks, as a member of the Chess History Group I found this very interesting. Perhaps you could post the link there as well. I'm sure the other members would enjoy it.
If you find this sort of thing interesting you might consider joining, if you haven't already.

Very nice. When I was in school I framed pictures, mostly reproductions, and a lot of them were from the same time periods as these. Thanks for the post.

Now 200 paintings at http://www.jmrw.com/Chess/Tableau_echecs/index.htm
