The Highlanders of Scotland

Résumé du livre

"The illustrations in this new edition of the Highlanders of Scotland are taken directly from the original watercolours which are preserved in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. As well as the contemporary text by Amelia Murray MacGregor which gives a history of the clans and the individual clansmen portrayed, Delia Millar's Introduction tells the story of the original commissioning of the paintings. Her Notes on the Plates give additional details about the sitters, their costumes, weapons, accoutrements, and the landscapes that form the background to the paintings."--Book jacket.
