The Lewis Chessmen Unmasked by David H. Caldwell - ★★★

purchased in Scotland. A nice recap of when the Lewis Chessmen were a traveling exhibit good details on the background on the of the discovery of the chessmen and multiple versions of possible stories. That could be true, excellent detail on the different phases of the chessmen and the possibility of five different craftsmen, working on different, but unique sets throughout a dist throughout a much longer time period than originally thought there were four sets in all in the hoard with some missing pieces. 10 or 11 of the pieces were bought by a local collector in Edinburgh, then the rest of the pieces eventually made their way to the British Museum, the 10 or 11 pieces remained in Scotland.
