The Union flag

1763

by Vincent Morley

1801

by Zeljko Heimer

Following the Treaty of Paris, 1763, the Royal Union Flag was flown over British North America. Originally combining the English red vertical St. George Cross on a white field with the Scottish white diagonal St. Andrew's cross on a dark blue field, in 1801 the Irish red diagonal Fitzgerald Cross on a white field was added.
