Glazed cotton muslin, 6 x 6 in., printed flag with original gold finial staff, 13.5 in. Red field with Blue Cross of St. Andrew edged with narrow white band. Framed, 16 x 13.5 in. Ca 1861-1865. During the Battle of Bull Run, it became evident that the Confederate national flag, The Stars and Bars, was almost indistinguishable from the Union's Stars and Stripes, causing confusion on the battlefield. A revised battle flag designed by General Pierre G.T. Beauregard was adopted by the Confederacy and subsequently became the generally-recognized symbol of the South. Provenance: J. Richard Pierce Collection of American Parade Flags Condition: Vibrant colors throughout. Mounted to acid-free mat board. Framed.
