A large reproduction, in ten colors, size 22x28 inches, of the original
painting, “Birth of Our Nation’s Flag,” by Charles H. Weisgerber, first
exhibited at the World’s Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893, will be
presented as a souvenir to any person forming a club of thirty members,
inclusive. These premium pictures will not be for sale, and when the
objects of the Association are attained the plates will be destroyed:
thus they will become a valuable family heirloom. For upon them will
be engrossed the name of the individual forming the club, as follows:
“Presented to ............... of ................
by the American Flag House and Betsy Ross Memorial
Association, for aiding in the preservation of the
Birthplace of our Nation’s Flag, and for the erection
of a National Memorial in Honor of Betsy Ross, and
stamped with the seal of the Association.”
The picture referred to above is an exact representation of the
room in which the first American Flag was made by Betsy Ross, which
was subsequently adopted by Congress, June 14, 1777, and is the
only endorsed portrait representation of Betsy Ross by her living
descendants.
