181058537<p>broadside 24.7 x 20.8 cms. drop head title as above below that the names of 45 clans and their badges in two columns imprint at foot all inside an attractive double-twist black and white decorative border apparently once pasted on the rear presumably into an album and a few trifling patches of damage and a short closed tear no loss tear from being lifted but overall very good. Attractive. Very rare.</p><p>The only copy located is in National Library of Scotland. Although without place of printing or date the imprint "R. Menzies Printer" was used by the Edinburgh firm of that name between about 1810 and 1820.<br />For each clan is given its name and its wild plant badge. Below the tabel is printed "The Chief of each respective Clan to wear two Eagles Feathers in his Bonnet in addition to the Distinguishing badge of his Clan". This might seem to indicate that this was printed for a particular event possibly a part of the visit of the King to Scotland organized by Sir Walter Scott in 1822.</p> R. Menzies, Printer
