A beautiful and delicate design more like a great flower than a Great Star. First appearing on flags in 1818, this starry pattern was in use for a longer period of time than any other form of the Stars and Stripes.
This flag has been exhibited at several museums and is documented in the book The Stars and Stripes: Fabric of the American Spirit, Richard Pierce, LLC, 2005 (page 26).
