TARTAN DAY

April 6 is Tartan Day in North America, a celebration of Scottish heritage. April 6 is the date on which the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320, asserting the independence of the Kingdom of Scotland against English attempts to subjugate it. To commemorate the day, we present a 1965 Limited Edition Club production of Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson's The Master of Ballantræ, printed in an edition of 1500 copies at the Press of A. Colish in Mt. Vernon, N.Y., with 28 two-color lithographs drawn on stone by Lynd Ward and the prints pulled by George C. Miller & Son in New York. The entire edition is signed by the artist.
