In the link below (near the bottom) , there is a rare picture of Jaques Mieses,
seated on the right, here during a match with Akiba Rubinstein in Berlin 1909.

What is interesting is that the large board in the background  has the board of
the bottom 3 ranks.  Well for those that might it find interesting, here is the
exact position and the game that was being played at the time the picture was
shot.    There are not too many pictures from this time period that one can tell
exactly  the position and the game as  it was shot as there is usually not
enough detail to clearly display the position.
