Summary

Description
English: 28 star American flag with 11 red, white, and blue stripes. It was flown in 1846 to celebrate Texas statehood.



"This flag does not conform to any of the limited regulations of flag design that were in place in 1846. Flag stripes had traditionally alternated red and white, and in 1818 Congress set the number of horizontal stripes allowed on the flag to 13. This flag has 11 cotton stripes alternating red, white, and blue. The stars, organized in four precise rows of seven stars, are hand painted on both sides of the fabric. The stars are applied with a shadow effect, which was an intentional effort of the flag maker." (https://www.thestoryoftexas.com/discover/artifacts/28-star-us-flag-spotlight-061215)
