Another asymmetric sett from the Guilde des Tisserandes de Lachine. #6202 was said to be an emblematic tartan using the ‘city colours’. This one uses lighter shades of the same colours but is said to be a ‘historical’ tartan that is a portrait of Lachine, the artistic representation of a sunset over Lac Saint-Louis, and by the same token, a reflection of the history of Lachine in its coloours and composition. THis further info from Jon Fitzpatrick of Vancouver Island, July 2008.
Lachine was an early fur trading centre in Quebec and is close to the island of Montreal on Lake Saint-Louis.
