Charting Development Glory Montage Stars Stripes
EDITORS COMMENTS
This montage, titled "History of Old Glory," charts the intriguing development of the American flag over the centuries. The image begins with the first known American flag, a simple banner bearing the British Union Jack on one side and the American flag on the other, symbolizing the colonial connection to Great Britain. The sequence progresses, illustrating the evolution of the flag with the addition of stars and stripes, representing the growth of the United States and the expansion of its territory. The montage includes the 13-star flag, which was the first American flag to bear stars, as well as the 15-star, 15-stripe flag, which was used during the Revolutionary War. The 17-star, 13-stripe flag, also depicted in the montage, honored the admission of Vermont and Kentucky to the Union. Next, the image showcases the 18-star, 13-stripe flag, which was designed in 1812 to commemorate the addition of Louisiana to the Union. The Star-Spangled Banner flag, with its 15 stars and 15 stripes, is also featured, representing the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the national anthem. The montage concludes with the current design of the American flag, the 50-star flag, which was adopted on July 4, 1960, to mark the admission of Hawaii as the 50th state. Each iteration of the American flag tells a unique story about the history and growth of the United States, making this montage an essential piece of Americana and a testament to the nation's rich heritage.
