DevinCook uploaded this image to Wikimedia Commons: created by jacobolus using Adobe Illustrator; using historical descriptions (commonly known). Inkscape was used to create the SVG.: released into the public domain. Version of the "Betsy Ross" design of the first flag of the United States (i.e. with 13 stars in a circle), shown with shorter canton and modern 19:10 flag proportions. Apocryphal legend states it was created by Betsy Ross, though this is disputed. The stars all face outward and represent a new constellation. This flag was used from 14 June 1777 to 1 May 1795.
