Its banner reads "Old Glory For Ever," using the nickname that sea captain William Driver of Salem, Massachusetts, gave his American flag around 1831. The flag sits inside a laurel wreath, a classical emblem of victory and honor that was widely borrowed in 19th-century patriotic art to present national pride as a kind of triumph. Images like this were often produced for display in homes, schools, and public meetings, where the combination of flag, wreath, and motto signaled loyalty and civic virtue. Notice how the wreath frames the flag as the centerpiece, a typical design choice of the period.
