World flags

I forgot to mention, I stumbled upon this book in a rare books faire I attended in the West end recently as I am the most cultural muhfucka in this hemisphere, and I saw this:

I picked it up and looked through all the countries that had rich, somewhat recent history.  I was surprised to see that the flag of Germany was indeed the Nazi flag and the Japanese flag was the flag of the rising sun.  The American flag had only 48 stars as well.  I found this little children’s book – valued at a mere 50 pounds(!) so historically significant!  It was quite amazing as it is not really something we would consider. 

Much love,
