THE USP & LCO Fine Art Co. Originally framed by the famous and Prestigious Ace Fine Art Picture & Frame Company 2328 Lincoln Ave Chicago IL. This is (obviously) not the original painting (which would be worth millions) but it is an early print that was so valuable someone took the time and energy needed to have it framed professionally by one of the premier Fine art framers of the time (this piece might be very valuable). This piece of Early Americana Fine Art American flag Print and the history it holds is immeasurable for anyone who loves our country and appreciates fine art. Does not include podium or frame. 
The Flag Resolution of June 14, 1777 stated: "Resolved: that the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation."
And then the Act of April 4, 1818 provided for 13 stripes and one star for each state, to be added to the flag on the 4th of July following the admission of each new state.
