I haven't run across these pictures before, but they are fascinating. I particularly like the one of Stewart playing simultaneous games, where it is noted that one of the players attempted to cheat, and Stewart dumped the board in his lap. This was in 1926, four years after he defeated Banks in Glasgow, and 33 years after he won his first Scottish championship.
