Long May She Wave : A Graphic History of the American Flag

The Revolutionary Congress resolved in 1777 that "the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white, that the Union be the 13 white stars in a blue field, representing a new constellation".

Since that time, the American flag has been raised high in wartime triumph and peacetime celebration; burned in fervent protest; sewn lovingly into quilts; appropriated by the commercial sphere to sell goods; and faithfully honoured every 4th July to celebrate America's independence, This work is a visual history of America's most visual symbol.
