Description: This is an original period image from the Library of Congress, the National Archives and other quality sources restored and tinted by the internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson. This is an exclusive listing of his work on ebay. Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused. Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image. By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken. You have your choice of size and finish for the photo. Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. Unless requested when placing your order, your image may be cropped. If you would like to see how a specific image will look for the size you have chosen, please contact us and indicate the size you are interested in.

Beauregard CSA; -The Little Napoleon While today remembered as the first Confederate General, the taking of Fort Sumter in 1861 and for his role in many battles including First Manassas (First Bull Run) few remember Beauregard's role in creating the Confederate Battle Flag. The first Confederate flag was known as the “First National Flag” and popularly referred to as the “Stars and Bars”. This flag was similar to the U.S. flag. Instead of thirteen red and white stripes, it had only three - two red stripes with white in the middle. The blue area had stars in a circle almost identical to the classic “Betsy Ross” design. Since stars were added as states joined the Confederacy, it too eventually had thirteen stars, much as the original U.S. flag. During First Manassas (First Bull Run) Beauregard noticed the flag problem. The official Confederate flag was too similar to the U.S. Flag. Seeing stars and stripes waving at a distance, it was not always obvious what the number of stripes or stars were. As the smoke from gunfire rose over the battle, field flags were an important way to determine who was friend of foe. By being able to quickly identify a flag, you could differentiate the location of forces during battle. For both sides the similar flag design caused confusion. Beauregard proposed replacing the First National Flag with a new design that would not be confused. This idea was quickly rejected by the Confederate government, which favored the First National Flag. Not letting the matter drop, he then proposed a “battle flag” which became the iconic symbol most remembered today. He wrote Joseph E. Johnston about his idea, "I wrote to [Miles] that we should have two flags—a peace or parade flag and a war flag to be used only on the field of battle—but congress having adjourned no action will be taken on the matter—How would it do us to address the War Dept. on the subject of Regimental or badge flags made of red with two blue bars crossing each other diagonally on which shall be introduced the stars, ... We would then on the field of battle know our friends from our Enemies." Ultimately a variation of this design would replace the First National flag and even today remains as one of the most cherished (and hated) symbols of the South.
