The title points to a birthplace of Old Glory, a nickname that traces to William Driver, a sea captain from Salem, Massachusetts, who named his flag that in 1831 and carried it on voyages around the world. The phrase "All Hail Dear Old Glory" reads like a patriotic tribute, the kind of sentiment that spread through songs, schoolrooms and parades in the decades after the Civil War. The record says little more about the picture itself, so it is best seen as a reminder of how Americans came to treat the flag as a personal emblem of national pride.
