Antique 1870 Scottish Highland Lithograph – Harris Men

Authentic 1870 chromolithograph from the "Highlanders of Scotland" series, commissioned by Queen Victoria and created by Scottish artist Kenneth MacLeay, RSA. This historical plate features two figures from the Western Isles: Kenneth MacSween of Stronde and Donald Macaulay of Geocrab. The composition is rich in ethnographic detail, showcasing traditional Highland dress, including broadswords and rare historic targes (Highland shields), offering a vivid glimpse into 19th-century Hebridean culture. Printed in London and issued as a first-edition plate, this is an original antique—not a later reproduction. The print remains mounted on its original 1870 heavy cardstock, preserving its authenticity and period presentation. A highly collectible piece for enthusiasts of Scottish heritage, military history, and antique lithographic art. Condition shows clear age-related toning and foxing across the mount and print, consistent with its 150+ years, contributing to its genuine antique character. Pick up in the Seton area, Calgary.
