Birth of US Flag , colorized from a sphoto of staged event in 1917 and based on a 19111 painting by Henry Mosler

This was a simulated or staged birth of the U.S. flag done in 1917 but using the current U.S. flag at that time, a 1917 flag containing the 48 stars, which rendered the staged event less than authentic. The first U.S.flag had a circular arrangement of 13 stars representing the first 13 states of the union. The concept was based on a Henry Mosler painting depicting the birth of the U.S. Flag. |

The second photo is my attempt to correct the re-enacted image since the first US flag only had 13 stars in a circular format representing the first 13 colonies.
