Percy Moran‘s “The Birth of Old Glory” (1917)

Current Location: The Library of Congress, Washington D.C.

FACT OF THE DAY: Even if it becomes a state, Puerto Rico will never be represented on the flag.

Tags: Percy Moran, The Birth of Old Glory depicts Betsy Ross and 2 young girls, who would become daughters of the revolution, presenting George Washington with the first American Flag. It consisted of stars, stripes and the devil-horns, to symbolize the 13 bad-ass original colonies and their rockin’ stand against tyranny. Debuting on July 4th, the American Independence Day, this flag was exactly what George and the other founding fathers were mother f*ckin talking about.
