Have you tried the Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division? They have very diverse collections, and if you don't find anything online you can send an email to their 'Ask A Librarian" service and they will check the open files in the reading room.

Can anyone suggest sources of images from Indian, Chinese, Japanese or other Asian cultures of people playing chess or chataranga? I am seeking images that I may obtain reproduction rights and digital files of to reproduce to accompany an exhibition in September of chess sets of various Asian style and eras.

Thank you.
