Description

Artistic rendering of Betsy Ross's presentation the Old Glory, painted by Walter Haskell Hinton in 1950 - nearly two centuries after the alleged scene took place. This scene is set at some point in May or June 1776, just prior to the nation's Declaration of Independence on July 4. The three gentlemen pictured, from left to right, are General George Washington, commander of the American Continental Army, and two members of the Continental Congress - both of whom would sign the Declaration. The figure in the center is Colonel George Ross, the uncle of Betsy's first husband, John Ross, who had been killed in an accidental explosion, while on militia duty, less than six months earlier, in January 1776. The other, on the right, is Robert Morris, known as the "Financier" of the American Revolution, due to his invaluable services in keeping the fledgling nation solvent.
