EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an iconic symbol of American history - the American flag from 1781. Crafted with a combination of wool and cotton, this flag represents the resilience and determination of the young nation during the American Revolutionary War. Measuring an impressive 96.5x188 cm, this historic artifact is proudly displayed in the collection of the New-York Historical Society in the USA. The flag features a striking image of an American bald eagle painted in the canton, holding a US shield at its breast along with arrows and a laurel branch in its talons. Above its head are two arches adorned with thirteen stars, representing each original colony. Painted on blue wool using white, red, and yellow colors, this flag was carried into battle during one of America's most significant victories - the Battle of Yorktown in Virginia. It serves as a powerful reminder of bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who fought for independence. The intricate design and vibrant colors make this piece truly remarkable. Its striped pattern adds to its visual appeal while symbolizing unity among states. This extraordinary textile captures not only historical significance but also embodies patriotism that continues to inspire generations today.
