American patriotic flag quilt with 44 blue stars on a white ground, set within a field of 13 red, white, and blue stripes. Made ca 1890-1896, the measurements are 76" x 74".
Wyoming became the 44th state on July 10th, 1890. Even though the 44 star flag was not official until July 4th, 1891, most flag-makers would have begun to add a 44th star to their flags as soon as Wyoming declared statehood, or perhaps even before the state was actually added. |
