William Brand Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm working on some projects concerning Spain in the Golden Age and I'm looking for any surviving images of Spanish flags for the period. Anything from Navy to Merchant Jacks. I know that the Cross of Burgundy appears on most of them, but I'd like a period example of the style, since the look of the cross is a little different from example to example. I'll also take any examples of Spanish ship pennants and variants of ensigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastie04 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I came across this website which seems to at least have a large collection of historic Spanish flags. However, the vast majority are not actual surviving examples, but computer renditions. However, it might be a good place to start, and you might be able to contact the owner of the site for more information. http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/es_his.html Arrrgh!
