Title
Did the United States Influence the Czechoslovak National Flag?
Abstract
The author is trying to map all major events dealing with the proposed Czechoslovak national flags in America before Czechoslovakia was established 28 October 1918. He analyzes famous war posters showing flags created by Czech artist Vojtěch Preissig, who lived in Boston at that time, and flag designs created by Milan Rastislav Štefánik, a colleague of T. G. Masaryk, the future President of Czechoslovakia, on his voyage from San Francisco to Japan. Finally, he describes the activity of Olga Masarykova, the president’s daughter, who edited a booklet entitled The Czechoslovak Flag, which was printed in Washington in October or November 1918.
