Centennial American Flag, C. 1875

475. Centennial American Flag, C. 1875


A thirty-nine-star United States flag with small flags of thirty-eight nations (labeled) around the border. Boleslaw and Marie-Louise d'Otrange Mastai's book "The Stars and the Stripes" shows an example on page 162. The caption says, "The International Flag, patented DEC 28 1875" with an unofficial total of thirty-nine stars in its constellation. It is notable not only for its canton, which contains six vertical rows, three with small stars and three with large stars, but also for its border of small flags of the nations that were to attend the United States' hundredth birthday party. Colorado was admitted to the Union as the thirty-eighth state in August 1876, becoming the "Centennial State," and apparently the designer of this item guessed that the Dakota Territory would become a state at about the same time. Measures apprx 25" x 18" and is mounted on blue background. Framed, measures apprx 31" x 24".

150/200 Sold: $230.00
