ZFC0327—This is a print of Edgar S. Paxson's 1899 painting "Custer's Last Stand." The original was the product of years of historical research which he then imaginatively reconstructed to summarize a great moment in history. Although not one of the flags in the painting, Gen. Custer lost his fifth personal guidon at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, identical to ZFC0490. The original painting is at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming.
