Comments on Stars	The flag's extraordinary beauty is enhanced by the use of small and large stars in the canton, a common feature in 19th century flags, but unknown since 1900. Stars are arranged in two large concentric rings with the star size varying from ring to ring and - in the case of the outer ring - from star to star.
Comments on Stripes	Most of the stripes are pieced from short lengths of cotton. Indeed it is conjectured that the cotton cloth used for the stripes was exhausted before the proper number was reached, such that this flag displays only ten stripes instead of the usual 13.
