This is very nice. The full list however would be much too large, however, e.g.
- Louis Vuitton is included and Super Mario was not, even though it has been very popular.
- Wartime travel set pieces are included which are arguably tokens representing chess pieces and not formal chess pieces, and that is well and good, but even more cheap stone sets were sold to tourists in Mexico that had a distinctive look which are not mentioned here.
- No mention of other variations of chess and how those pieces evolved.
- Many online stores sell chess pieces in variations unmentioned.
Equally, I would argue the Louis Vuitton set is not worth mentioning. One of the benefits of living in modern society is not having to look to the rich for signals of taste.
The iconography used on the wartime tokens seem like they merit their own article even - are piece glyphs always ‘just’ a 2D translation of the 3D piece, or is there more you can do with a 2D printed or illustrated mark, that would be prohibitive to sculpt/mold/turn/3D print?
