Good article but pity the board is the wrong way round!
Why on earth does this keep happening?

One of the comments suggests that the board is the right way round, but the photo has been flipped. The original will be on the Getty website somewhere (click on the 'i' on the photo to get the credit line), but I can't find it and it will be difficult as no further details are given. Not that it is
that important.
OK, found it here:

So it was either flipped by the photographer (only credited on the Getty site as 'Hales' - there are several photographers with that surname, it is probably George Hales) or flipped by Getty when they processed it, or the board was the wrong way round. I did find several interesting historical photos in the Hulton archives again. May try and pull some of those together at some point.

Sorry, went a bit off-topic there! To bring this back on topic, have a look at this photograph showing chess in schools in 1934:
