The scene shows a man standing, wearing a green jacket, a red tartan kilt, and typical accessories such as a sporran, a baldric, green knee-high socks with yellow diamonds, and a blue beret. He holds a rifle in his right hand. The chromolithograph is distinguished by its vibrant colors and meticulous details, characteristic of educational and illustrative chromo production from the late 19th or early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe border of the chromo is irregularly cut, typical of images to be glued or exchanged in schools of yesteryear. The motif is printed on a surface with a slightly embossed appearance, with a shiny effect in places, characteristic of old chromolithographs. The main colors – red, green, blue, and yellow – are well preserved and give the scene its vibrancy. The rendering of the tartan and accessories highlights a concern for historical detail in the representation of Scottish costume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene is centered on the character, with no visible background, which highlights the subject and facilitates immediate identification. The chromo shows some visible signs of wear on the edges, particularly in the bottom left, where there is a small missing piece. This wear is consistent with the age of the object and does not affect the legibility of the illustration or the inscription \"Cameron\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of image was frequently used in schools for educational exercises or as rewards, but also distributed in collectible image albums. The graphic style, the chromolithography technique, and the subject suggest a production from the late 19th century, a period when this medium was particularly popular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is.

They often served as educational illustrations, advertising materials, or collectible images in schools and homes. Historical or folkloric figures, such as members of Scottish clans, were recurring themes to pique children's curiosity about world cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour order will be carefully prepared, promptly shipped, and professionally packaged to ensure safe delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKeywords: chromolithography, old school image, vintage chromo, educational image, Scottish chromo, 19th-century illustration, collectible image, Scottish chromo, old school image, Cameron chromo, traditional costume chromo, tartan chromo\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AFW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54324515078471,"sku":"40ad0b83-174e-4d4b-960b-215cade05ab6","price":2.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/5152\/8775\/files\/s-l1600_e98b7f5f-d7c2-447c-8da3-1d15c3e0c214.jpg?v=1783756988","url":"https:\/\/shop.antiquefranceworldwide.com\/en\/products\/chromo-ancien-ecole-petit-format-ecossais-cameron-vintage-xixe","provider":"AFW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
