This print, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into a momentous event that took place in San Francisco. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with athletes and spectators alike, all gathered to celebrate Scottish traditions and showcase their strength and skill. The participants can be seen engaging in various traditional Highland games such as caber tossing, hammer throwing, and tug-of-war. Their determination is palpable as they compete against each other with great enthusiasm. The engraving beautifully depicts the festive atmosphere surrounding these games. Spectators cheer on their favorite competitors while enjoying music played by bagpipers in traditional Scottish attire. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to every detail, from kilts swaying in the wind to flags proudly displaying clan symbols. This historic print not only serves as a visual record of an important event but also highlights the enduring influence of Scottish culture across borders.
