Merely an impression of the design is made with red stripes on a green background. The artist clearly thought it important to render the sett accurately where it would be clearly visible (in the plaid), but not where only portions of the design would be seen (in the kilt, behind the large sporran).
Quite right, Matt. Superb prints! I always enjoy seeing these, and there were two that I hadn't seen previously. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
