J. H. Colton's National Flags chart of c. 1863–1866 — a vexillological document produced in New York showing over 100 national and commercial flags — is reproduced in full across both covers: the front presents the complete chromolithographic chart, a dense grid of flags arranged by nation and maritime use, engraved by J. H. Colton & Co. and printed in New York circa 1863–1866, while the back extends the same chart, completing the panorama with commercial ensigns, pilot signals, and the flags of nations that no longer exist — the Russian-American Company, the Kingdom of Hawaii, the Confederate States, the Kingdom of Siam — a document of the world as it was, in all its vanished complexity.
