I was wondering if anyone could help me locate a source (museum or
even book) for the following image. It is by Otto M=F6ller, dated 1922,
and called, in French, "Joueurs d'Echec". Any help would be greatly
appreciated as the image appears to be rather obscure.

I can't answer you directly, Robert, but recommend for general coffee-
table reading 'Chess: A Celebration of 2000 Years' - Finkenzeller,
Ziehr, Buehrer (MacKenzie 1990) and the even more detailed - though
not as pretty - 'History of Chess' edited by BH Wood (Abbey Library
1972). The latter suffered terribly as it should be entitled 'The
History of Chess through Illustration' but had a shortened title; thus
the wrong type of player is initially attracted. Players find no
guidance: historians find nothing to rival Murray. I think the picture
might be researched on google. I think its Polish, it looks it.
