註釋

Since its birth in revolutionary America, the Stars & Stripes has evoked feelings of awe, pride, & patriotism in the people of the U.S. Born to represent the colonies' fight for independence, altered in its adolescence to reflect the changing size & scope of the nation, & fixed today as a bold pattern of red & white stripes & 50 white stars on a blue field, the Amer. flag is a touchstone for nat. pride. It has inspired thousands of artistic interpretations over the years, from photos of the banner rippling in the wind to paintings of the flag on the walls of barns, & from fine art prints to designer clothes bearing the flag's likeness. This book, featuring a collection of spectacular images of U.S. flags from around the country, is a visual celebration of this symbol of America.
