The Stars and the Stripes: the American Flag As Art and As History from the Birth of the Republic to the Present

This book is the first to show us our national flag - in all its various & surprising incarnations through 200 years - as folk art, as a profoundly moving expression of the feelings of generations of Americans about the events & spirit of their country growth. The beautiful color photos, the superb narrative & captions, trace the development of the flag's design. There are many treasures brilliantly reproduced in full color.
