EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century colour lithograph showcases Macalister, a proud member of the Scottish Highlands clan. Published in 1845 as part of "The Clans of the Scottish Highlands" this print by Robert Ronald McIan beautifully captures the essence of Scottish heritage and tradition. Macalister stands tall and confident, donning a striking full plaid kilt adorned with his clan's tartan pattern. His blue bonnet sits proudly atop his head, while tartan socks peek out from beneath his brogue shoes. The toorie on his bonnet adds an elegant touch to his ensemble. In one hand, Macalister holds a sgian dubh - a traditional Scottish knife tucked into his sock for both practicality and symbolism. This small but significant accessory represents loyalty and protection within the Highland culture. With meticulous attention to detail, McIan expertly brings out every element that defines Macalister's identity as a Highlander. From the garters securing his stockings to the historical accuracy of each garment, this illustration is not only visually stunning but also serves as an important historical document. As part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into Scotland's rich cultural heritage. It transports us back in time to an era when clans played a vital role in shaping Scottish society. This print is more than just art; it is a testament to Scotland's enduring traditions and serves as a reminder of the pride that Scots hold for their ancestral roots.
