Large Revolutionary War Theme Chess Set

This colorful chess set depicts the two sides of the American Revolutionary war. At the time of King George III's coronation in 1760 the British were the pre-eminent power of the North American sub-continent. They had a difficult time persuading the colonists of the territory to pay taxes to the British Crown and as a result outbreaks of violence occurred which eventually escalated into full scale war between the colonies and Britain. The level of detail cast into the pieces and the hand painting are amazing.
