I found this image in a 1903 calendar from the Equitable Life Assurance company. It featured six historical American flag images with the Gadsden on the final page for November and December.
1903 calendar featuring Gadsden flag
On the back of this page, the advertisement reads: “The Equitable Life Assurance Society has always meant defence — defence and protection for the family and home, for the helpless, for the widow, the orphan, and the aged. Every year millions of dollars are paid to widows and orphans on the death of the breadwinner … and this protection has — through the Equitable — been given by the union of hundreds of thousands of citizens for the purpose of protecting each other.”
Didn’t they know this is what the government is for?
Hello,
We are an interior design firm and we are currently working a project
for a Hotel in downtown Historic Charleston SC. We are theming rooms based on
on prominent Charelston people, and Gadsden is one of them. I saw your image
from the 1903 Equitable life calendar (the woman holding the DTOM flag.
I have a few questions regarding this:
1. DO you know where we can obtain a copy of that calender?
2. Would you be willing to let us borrow it so we can make a custom art
piece based on that image?
This room will be very unique when its done, as the design is completely based on
Mr. Gadsden himself.
I appreciate you attention in this matter.
sincerely,
Jeff Youngblood
