Betsy Ross sits at her worktable in this 1777 scene, painted in the detailed historical style of Jean Leon Gerome Ferris. The story that she sewed the first flag for George Washington was first told publicly by her grandson in the 1870s, and historians have never confirmed it. This color halftone reproduction, issued by the Foundation Press of Cleveland, Ohio, around 1932, carried the legend into homes and classrooms during the Depression, when patriotic stories of national beginnings were especially popular.
