About this sheet

Scottish Highland Gentleman – Vanity Fair Men of the Day No. 13, 1870

This colorful Vanity Fair portrait was published November 19, 1870, as Men of the Day No. 13. Depicting a Highland gentleman in traditional Scottish dress, the image stands out for its rich tartan pattern and confident stance.

Costume-based portraits from Vanity Fair are especially sought after due to their decorative impact and cultural specificity.

Framing tips: A pale stone or light gray mat with a dark walnut frame highlights the tartan without overpowering it.
