Over the 19th century, the Victorian era transformed the island nation of Britain from an agricultural country into a global industrial leader and innovator. Its naval empire expanded to every corner of the world, and the development of railways and canal networks greatly improved transport at home. Huge developments in the fields of science and medicine defined the era as one of enlightenment, and the Victorian era represents a renaissance that catapulted Britain into the 20th century and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis uniquely atmospheric set of chess pieces is inspired by the timeless designs of 19th-century playing cards.
