Metal Prints From Heritage Images
Robertson, c1935
Robertson, c1935. Tartan is a pattern consisting of horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours. Originally these were simply different regional checked-cloth patterns, chosen by the wearers preference without particular reference to propriety. In the mid-nineteenth century, however, many patterns were created and artificially associated with Scottish clans, families, or institutions. Tartans originated in woven wool, but are now made in many other materials in hundreds of patterns. Scottish kilts almost always have tartan patterns. Tartan is often called plaid in North America.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from c1935 showcases the timeless beauty of tartan, a pattern that has become synonymous with Scottish heritage. Tartan, characterized by its horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colors, originally emerged as various regional checked-cloth patterns chosen purely based on personal preference. However, in the mid-nineteenth century, numerous patterns were created and artificially linked to Scottish clans, families, or institutions. The illustration featured in this print is sourced from a book dedicated to Scottish tartans published around 1935. It beautifully captures the essence of traditional Scottish textiles and exemplifies the typical designs prevalent during that era. While tartans initially originated in woven wool fabrications, they have now evolved to be produced using various other materials and boast hundreds of distinct patterns. One cannot help but notice how tartan remains an integral part of Scottish culture even today. The iconic kilts worn by Scots almost always feature these striking tartan motifs. Interestingly enough, North Americans often refer to tartan as plaid—a testament to its global recognition. As we delve into this remarkable image capturing Scotland's rich textile history through vibrant hues and intricate lines, let us appreciate the enduring legacy of tartan and its ability to evoke a sense of pride for those connected with their ancestral roots or simply captivated by its allure.
