| The British King, George III, decided that he must punish the disobedient colonists in North America for their refusal to submit to his authority and pay taxes to the British Crown. He sent his army, commanded by Lord Cornwallis to subdue the revolutionaries.
This splendid chess set features many of the famous historical characters of the period. George Washington, Betsy Ross, Benjamin Franklin and Paul Revere are just a few who played an important part in the struggle to claim independence from the British Crown. Board not included.
Our sculptor and artists have taken some of the principal characters from the era to create this superb chess set. Shown here in its hand decorated form the historically authentic hand crafted pieces will enable you to re-live some of the major battles and engagements and, perhaps… who knows… alter the course of history? |
