Kudos, Roger - you are incredible!!! I came across this when I was going to post here:

...that the image would make a perfect bord for a game of life game and looked for the English name of the game (turned out to be the literal translation).

In 1860, when Mr. Lincoln grew his trademark beard, Bradley's clean-shaven portrait was no longer popular. Out of desperation, Mr. Bradley printed up several copies of a game he'd invented called, "The Checkered Game of Life." He sold 45,000 copies of the game by the end of the year. The Game of Life was America's first popular parlor game.
During the Victorian era in Great Britain and in the United States, parlor games became extremely popular among the upper and middle classes.

Roger, you win a parlor game of your choice.
