The title, "The Original Stars and Stripes," presents this c1891 photographic print as a picture of the flag in its first form, the banner of thirteen stripes and thirteen stars that the Continental Congress adopted on June 14, 1777. The 1890s saw growing public interest in Revolutionary-era relics and in the national flag as a symbol, and photographs like this one helped carry that interest to a wider audience. The record does not name the maker, so the image is best read as a document of how Americans in the late nineteenth century pictured their earliest national emblem.
