‘Sea Life’ Chess Set. Designed in 1923 by Max Esser and manufactured by the Meissen Porcelain Factory in Germany.

“In the mid-eighteenth century the Meissen porcelain factory produced several chess sets by sculptor and chief modeler Johann Joachim Kändler (German, 1706–1775). In the 1920s Meissen again began to produce chess sets, among them three designed by Max Esser, known largely at the factory as a modeler of animal figures.”

The climb to Abano Pass, in Georgia is regarded as one of the most dangerous on Earth. Every autumn, a spectacular animal migration takes place in Georgia’s Tusheti region in the northern Caucasus Mountains. Radio Free Europe photographer Amos Chapple recently joined a group of shepherds and their dogs on what he refers to as a “deadly, boozy journey” from the steep mountains to the plains, as they brought their 1,200 sheep down to their winter pastures.
