George Lowther's Black Flag
Many Jolly Rogers that where well known during the Golden Age where never re-created and printed. Here is one such a Frightfull Flag.<br /><br />It's the Black Flag of one of my Personal Favourite Pirates: George Lowther<br /><br />This "black assign with a death in it" was reported by Captain Edwards, when Lowther attacked his ship the Greyhound. [link]<br /><br />I traced the flag using this Picture [link] at the site of witch I just gave a Link.<br /><br />Sins the Skeleton figure in the picture is somewhat miss-shapen by the wind, I've ajusted it to be placed on a flad surface.<br /><br />Lowhter’s flag was basically similar to Edward (Ned) Lowe’s flag, accept for the death’s colour.<br /><br />This may be because Edward Lowe served as George Lowther’s lieutenant<br />for a period of time.<br /><br />In this time he might have fancied Lowther’s Roger, <br />and therefore made a similar one accept that he chose to make the skeleton “red” instead of “white” <br /><br />Possobly to increase the fear-factor of his flag.
