Star Spangled Banner, Calligraphy and Drawing, American Flag and Shield
Flag Of The Free, Standard Of The Brave
Live Not For Yourselves, But For Your Country
New York
June 1840
A wonderful patriotic work done in pen and ink with poem featuring a verse from THE AMERICAN FLAG by Joseph Rodman Drake (1795 to 1820)

Flag of the seas! on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter o'er the brave;
When death, careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frighted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's reeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph o'er his closing eye.
(Frame: 11 by 13.25"; view: 7 by 9")
