Embroidered flag on canvas/linen mounted on an artist board with 47 stars showing and one possibly concealed in the fold of the flag. New Mexico became the 47th state on 6 Jan 1912, Arizona became the 48th state on 14 Feb 1912. The U.S. adopted a new flag (48 stars)on the 4th of July of that year as is the custom; the flag prior to this had 46 stars. There never was an official 47 star flag. Probably in its original frame and glass. Frame size is 24 1/2" x 20 1/2"
