This grouping of flags framed in four frames displays some of the finest examples of Civil War through Centennial era, screened and printed examples measuring from 2" x 3" to 9-1/2" x 7-1/2". The four smaller flags retain their original sticks. The rarest example is a 7-star on glazed cotton, possibly commemorating the seven seceding states which included in order of secession, S. Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas. Three other examples are 13-star flags. And the last is a fringed silk 38-star flag commemorating the State of Colorado in 1876. The 38-star flag is in the Great Star configuration with four larger stars in each quadrant. SIZE: PROVENANCE: From the personal estate collection of John W. Armiger Jr. CONDITION: Four flags retaining original sticks are very good to fine, as archivally framed. Silk 38-star flag is good to very good showing vertical tears and separations in field, otherwise intact with good color, though blue canton has faded to sky blue. Three of the frames have additional historic information and provenance printed on verso. 49055-215 JS (1,500-2,500)
