Of the prints on this board, this color lithographic poster stands out for its title, the *Scottish-American Journal*, which points to a newspaper serving Scots who had settled in New York. The caption card links the sheet to four figures, Thomas Carlyle, Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott, and John Knox, whose names anchor Scottish literary and religious identity. The New York lithographer Joseph Laing is credited on the print, and his firm produced commercial work in the late nineteenth century. Because the record's data are unverified, the exact design and its purpose should be read with some caution.
