- Title: Chess Playing Automaton
- Artist: Social Bondage
-
Description:
An engineering wonder, or an over-blown bagatelle? The chess playing automaton - "The Turk" - created by Wolfgang von Kempelen of the late Prussian court, was a marvel of its time, for its exceedingly eerie facade of mechanized chess playing skill.
The picture at reference is believed to be an original sketch by the creator, Wolfgang von Kempelen, himself. - Date: 04/15/2010
