A Heritage Fine Art Print from the Tartan250 Collection – Commemorating 250 Years of American Independence

 

Step back into the formative years of a nation with the “Past Edition” — a commemorative tartan art print paying tribute to the flag that inspired a revolution and a national anthem.
This unframed edition is a quiet and reverent homage to the original Star-Spangled Banner of 1814, woven through the symbolism of tartan and printed as a fine art collectible.

 

A Legacy Woven in Cloth

Featuring The Star-Spangled Banner Tartan — designed by Scottish artist and tartan specialist Steven Patrick Sim — this print honours the moment when a fledgling republic stood its ground at Fort McHenry and Francis Scott Key gave it immortal verse.

This Past Edition evokes the era of 13 stars and 15 stripes, with its muted palette and gentle tonal balance reflecting the spirit of early 19th-century America. The layout preserves historical authenticity while honouring the origins of a flag that came to represent freedom itself.

Details like the text panel "The Star-Spangled Banner – Flag of 1814", a reflective poetic line, and the Tartan250 emblem anchor the design as both a tribute and a collectible.
