Three fragments of attributed to the Confederate flag flown over Richmond on the eve of its occupation by Union forces—one red (3" x 1.5"), one blue (4.5" x 1.25"), and one white (2" x 2.5")—mounted with an original lithograph entitled "Entrance of the Army of the Potomac Into Richmond" and attractively matted and framed to an overall size of 14 x 20. An identification plaque below reads: "Relics of the Confederate Flag That Floated From the Capitol at Richmond the Day Before Its Occupation by the Federal Troops." In fine condition. Accompanied by a 1988 letter from the registrar of the Museum of the Confederacy, responding to an inquiry about the swatches, in part: "We do have several pieces of flag similar to the ones you describe in our collections, so I would have no reason to doubt the authenticity of your piece."
