A photograph of a couple playing backgammon on the deck of the 'Conte di Savoia' playing backgammon. Notable is the backgammon scoring pegboard and implements box, demonstrating that at the time travel sets did not include compartments for storing game pieces.
This photograph was used as a reference for a magazine illustrator who incorporated the scene in a cover illustration for 'The Nation's Business' in 1950.
An original of the photograph is held by the Mariner's Museum, but does not readily appear in their online catalog. Prints can be ordered via their website (see link below).
