The 4th flag of the State of Georgia
Georgia State Flag, c. 1906-1920
Between 1902 and 1906, an unknown person or flag manufacturer added a
gold-outlined white shield to the coat of arms, placed the date "1799" below the
arms and added a red ribbon with "Georgia" below the shield. Although the
General Assembly hadn't authorized any changes to the state flag, apparently no one
contested the new version. A Georgia history book for children published in 1906 includes
a full-page color rendering of this design, indicating this to be the state flag of
Georgia. |
