EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history, featuring Betsy Ross, the renowned upholsterer Elizabeth Griscom Ross. Taken around 1930 by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris, this photomechanical print is part of the series "Pageant of a Nation" showcasing iconic scenes from the birth of America. In this particular image, we witness Betsy Ross proudly presenting Major Ross and Robert Morris with the first American flag in 1777. Standing alongside her is none other than George Washington himself, symbolizing unity and strength during the American Revolutionary War. The painting beautifully illustrates an idealized version of that historical event. It transports us back to Philadelphia, where Betsy's skilled hands meticulously sewed together each star and stripe on that remarkable flag. The romanticized atmosphere evokes feelings of patriotism and admiration for our founding fathers who fought tirelessly for independence. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are reminded of the values it represents: freedom, human rights, and the spirit of a nation built on principles enshrined in its constitution. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history as Americans and pays homage to those who paved the way for our present-day liberties. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this timeless piece continues to inspire generations with its rich symbolism and historical significance.
