Richard Culver wrote both the words and the music for "Our country and flag," and this color lithograph serves as its cover, printed in Philadelphia by T. Sinclair for the publishers Lee & Walker. The piece dates to the 1860s, when the Civil War and its aftermath made songs about the nation, the flag and its soldiers especially popular in American parlors. Lithography gave publishers an affordable way to make eye-catching covers for sheet music, and the record's subject headings of patriotism, flags and soldiers reflect how central those themes were to the period's popular culture.
