Description: | Flag staff
French national flag and ensign from 1794-1814, and after 1830. Formerly tied to staff, now removed, (display prop). The tricolour combined the red and blue colours of the arms of Paris with the white of the French monarchy. The colours and form of the tricolour have influenced the design of national flags in all parts of the world. This influence became apparent in the flags of the states established following Napoleon's Italian campaigns. | Publisher: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/page/7d7ded6fb50d6031e2884961a200be58.html | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
