Old American Flags

I meant to post this a little bit earlier. This old flag is from the Ethics of Success Reader that I first started posting images from on this blog when I first started it. But I thought I'd wait until closer to July 4th to post it. It only has 30 stars on it. Apparently this flag became the official flag for the United States on July 4th, 1848. www.usflag.org/history/the30starflag.html

And here is a 48 star Old Glory American flag. The U.S. flag came to have 48 stars on July 4, 1912. www.usflag.org/history/the48starflag.html

By George! It's my First Post of a Public Domain Image!

If you saw my Welcome page you know I am starting to share some images in the public domain that I have from some books and things in my possession.

All of the first public domain images I intend to post are from Ethics of Success: Book One by William M. Thayer. The book I scanned it from has a copyright date of 1909, and thus is now in the public domain.

The first picture is this one of George Washington on a horse. I am sure there are lots of copies of this picture around. But here is a scan from me at 300 dpi.
