Origin and history of the American flag and of the naval and yacht-club signals, seals and arms, and principal national songs of the United States, with a chronicle of the symbols, standards, banners, and flags of ancient and modern nations
A two-volume reference history of flags, signals, seals and national songs compiled by naval officer George Henry Preble and revised by Charles Edward Asnis, published in Philadelphia in 1917 for vexillologists, historians and officials. Small line-cut vignettes show striped and crossed banners on staffs, eagles, heraldic shields and signal pennants, with hatched and stippled shading usable as compact flat-black emblems.
