Betsy Ross is best known from the story that she sewed the first American flag at the request of George Washington and a congressional committee in Philadelphia in 1777, though historians have never confirmed that account. This c. 1932 color halftone reproduces a painting by Jean Leon Gerome Ferrus, a French-born artist who made many patriotic scenes of American history. The Foundation Press of Cleveland, Ohio, issued the print, and it reflects how the Ross story had become a popular national symbol by the early twentieth century, when reproductions like this one hung in schools and homes.
