A poster addressed to "Caledonians" announces the next issue of the *Scottish-American Journal* and promises a report on the Caledonian Games, the Scottish athletic gatherings held by Scottish immigrants and their descendants across the United States. Printed in New York in 1885, it reflects a period when Scottish clubs in American cities were working to keep Highland traditions alive, and events such as the caber toss, foot races, and piping competitions drew large crowds and newspaper coverage. Its large size and color printing suggest it was meant for public display, aimed at a readership that took pride in its Scottish identity.
