"God Bless America" WWI Printed Banner
Presented is an original “God Bless America” banner, dating to World War I. The pointed gonfalon banner is patriotically printed in red and blue. “God Bless America” is printed along the top and bottom of the banner in large blue letters. A Union shield sits at center, with two crossing springs of laurel and a scrolling banner that reads “Equality, Liberty, Justice” in blue below. The sides of the banner feature a unique 13-star flag border. The banner is displayed hanging on its original wooden dowel and accented by two long tassels.
This banner would have been proudly displayed in a window during WWI, similar to how service flags were displayed. The verbiage, the patriotic imagery, and the colors combine to make a fantastic piece.
