EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolithograph captures the lively atmosphere of the Caledonian Games in Scotland during the late 19th century. The image, part of the Holidays series by George S. Harris & Sons, showcases a range of athletic events and traditional Scottish attire. In this bustling scene, men and women dressed in colorful national costumes gather to celebrate their heritage and engage in friendly competition. The Highland Games take center stage as athletes showcase their strength and skill through activities like shot put. A sense of camaraderie fills the air as spectators cheer on their favorite participants. The lithograph beautifully portrays an allegorical figure representing Scotland, draped in its iconic tartan patterned dress. This symbolizes national pride and unity among Scots during this festive occasion. As a collectible cigarette card for Duke brand cigarettes, this print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers a glimpse into Scottish culture for consumers across America. It reflects how popular imagery from different countries was used to promote various products during that era. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this historical artifact allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind commercial advertisements of that time period and the cultural significance attached to events like the Caledonian Games.
