Comments:
Godden discusses at great length a Grant multi-silk picture with this same printed title, although that version comprises the Coat of Arms and five individual silk views, and this is recorded here as gt40.
The version above has the same Coat of Arms, and only four of the same individual silk views.

The same printed title, A PRESENT FROM THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, EDINBURGH 1886, is recorded multiple times on this site, although the actual silks are different in each record.

The individual silks were also issued by Grant as individually mounted pictures, although most of these individual silks do not have the woven title, only printed.
