Exhibition Copy | First Presidio Exhibit (ZFC0205) Spanish Military Field Guidon Date: 1898 Medium: Printed on cotton Comment: Although similar to Spanish Admiralty Rank flags, this swallowtail version of the Spanish national flag does not bear the symbols indicative of naval ranks. It is suspected, instead, that it is an unissued Spanish military guidon. It was probably brought to the United States by a soldier returning from the Spanish-American War. Provenance: Acquired by the Zaricor Flag Collection (ZFC0205) in 1997 from the De Young Museum Collection through Butterfield & Butterfield Auctions of San Francisco, CA. |
