Old and rare Scottish tartans : $b with historical introduction and descriptive notices
Stewart, Donald William
Tartans -- Scotland
12. _The Tartans of the Clans of Scotland_; also an Introductory
Account of Celtic Scotland, Clanship, Chiefs, their Dress, Arms, &c.,
and with Historical Notes of each Clan. By James Grant, author of _The
Romance of War_, _Old and New Edinburgh_, &c. Emblazoned arms of the
chiefs, and a map of the districts occupied by the various clans are
added. W. & A. K. Johnston, Edinburgh and London. 1886. Imperial 4to.
The seventy-one tartans illustrated in this beautiful book will, with
one exception, be found to have been included in the works previously
referred to. There is, as in the case of the Messrs Smith’s book, a
number of errors in identification and arrangement. The illustrations
are the finest examples of lithographic printing as applied to tartan
designs which have hitherto appeared, and they show clearly where the
method succeeds and where it fails.
13. _The Scottish Clans and their Tartans_: With Notes. W. & A. K.
Johnston, Edinburgh and London. [1891.] 16mo.
There has never hitherto been brought together in such a compact form
so many examples of tartans, the work containing ninety-six plates
executed by the same process as in the publishers’ larger work (No.
12). It is necessary, however, to point out that some of them are
designs invented within a few years, and of no authority as clan
tartans. A second edition, with additional notes, was issued in 1892.
