EDITORS COMMENTS
This comical lithograph print from the late 19th century captures the essence of a stereotypical Scottish gentleman, aptly titled "Scotch". Part of the World Dudes series created for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888, this satirical portrait showcases the fashion and style of that era. The man depicted here exudes a sense of Victorian elegance with his colorful checked coat and traditional tartan kilt. His head is adorned with a distinctive plaid headdress, while a sporran hangs at his waist. Holding a walking stick in one hand and sporting an exaggerated expression on his face, this gentleman embodies both humor and caricature. While it's important to acknowledge that this image perpetuates certain stereotypes associated with Scotland and its people, it also serves as a testament to the cultural perceptions prevalent during that time period. The artist skillfully combines elements of satire and parody to create an amusing portrayal. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this trade card was originally intended as part of Allen & Ginter's promotional material but has since become an intriguing piece of heritage art. Through examining prints like these, we gain insight into historical attitudes towards different cultures while appreciating the artistic techniques employed by their creators.
