Description:
44 star Wyoming statehood flag. July 10, 1890. Printed flag on silk, 6.5 x 10.25 in. Overprint: " Compliments of Henry Althoff 'The Doctor' Sample, Meeting and Lunch Room, Cor. Livingston St., 251 Springfield Ave., Newark, NJ Government Steam Launch, 42 ft. long, to Let for Pleasure and Fishing Parties." The flag was often a popular medium to promote a variety of goods and services, including food items, games, tobacco and liquor products, and hundreds of other forms of commercial merchandise. All of this occurred however, much to the displeasure of veterans and patriotic organizations as well as legislative bodies, both at the federal and state level. Through the lobbying efforts of several committees and veterans groups concerned with protecting the flag, by 1905, 32 states had enacted flag protection laws. Passage of a national law remained stymied in Congress until 1968.
