Hey all,
I was looking over a painting done by John Wiede of the 39th MS flag and noticed the finial in the painting. I am curious to know if this was possibly on the flag or did the artist use a little of his own creativity. I would like to think the former since Weide was commissioned by the Minnesota historical society for record purposes. The other paintings he did seem highly accurate. It is the only source I have found of the flag since the original is just a scrap now. I'm placing a link on here since Im not sure how to post the picture.
Best,
Drew
