US Flag with 13 stars, the "Betsy Ross" version. In use 14 June 1777–1 May 1795. Created by jacobolus using Adobe Illustrator, and released into the public domain.

Description	US flag 13 stars – Betsy Ross.svg Betsy Ross Flag. This was the first flag of the United States. Legend states it was created by Betsy Ross. The stars all face outward and represent a new constellation.
Date
Source	I created this image using historical descriptions (commonly known). Inkscape was used to create the SVG.
Author	DevinCook
Permission (Reusing this image)	Public Domain
Other versions	File:US 13 Star Betsy Ross Flag.svg

Warning: This image will not scale to 22px or smaller; it simply appears as a blank space (tested in Safari/MacOSX and Firefox/WinXP). For flag icon usage, scale it to 23px.

Seems to be working fine now; cf. w:Wikipedia:WikiProject_Heraldry_and_vexillology/World_Flags#United_States_Of_America --Himasaram 10:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
