Description |
English: New South Wales Ensign Wool bunting flag with a cotton hoist and cord halyard. The design is printed with the ends of the flag machine sewn. The top and bottom sides are selvedge edges. There are hand sewn repairs. The field is white with a blue cross overall bearing five white five-pointed stars. A Union flag is placed in the canton. The flag was originally designed by Captain John Nicholson in 1831 as a proposed New South Wales ensign. It was used as an unofficial merchant ensign until the Admiralty banned its use at sea in 1883. The flag was subsequently adopted by the Federation movement during campaigns to merge the six Australian colonies into a nation state. Although not adopted as the national flag in 1901, it continued in use until the 1920's. |
