Exhibition History First Presidio Exhibit (ZFC1091) Thirteen-Star, United States Flag Date: About 1876 Media: Wool bunting with cotton stars; machine sewn with hand stitched stars Comment: The thirteen-star United States flag with its stars arranged in the 3-2-3-2-3 pattern was the pattern most illustrated in the flag identification charts published in Europe after the Treaty of Paris in 1783 recognized American independence. The pattern seems to have been revived during the American Civil War, and (because it symmetrically filled the canton) became an increasingly popular commemorative flag during the decade leading up to the Centennial Celebration. Provenance: Acquired by the Zaricor Flag Collection (ZFC1091) in 1999 from William Guthman of Westport, CT. Second Presidio Exhibit Gallery One Copy 2003 ZFC1091 13-Star United States Flag Date: About 1876 Media: Wool bunting with cotton stars; machine-sewn with machine-stitched stars Comment: The 13-star United States flag with its stars arranged in the 3-2-3-2-3 pattern was the version most often illustrated in the flag identification charts published in Europe after the Treaty of Paris in 1783 which recognized American independence.
