The history and significance of the American flag
A short patriotic history of the United States flag written and published by Emily Katharine Ide in Boston in 1917, aimed at schools and civic readers during the First World War. The plates are small black-and-white halftones and line blocks of successive flag designs, showing star arrangements, the Grand Union canton, and one torn, battle-worn ensign, useful for high-contrast stripe and star motifs and period vexillological reference.
