Fourth Georgia Flag

The 4th flag of the State of Georgia

Georgia State Flag, c. 1906-1920

Between 1902 and 1906, an unknown person or flag manufacturer added a gold-outlined white shield to the coat of arms, placed the date "1799" below the arms and added a red ribbon with "Georgia" below the shield.

Although the General Assembly hadn't authorized any changes to the state flag, apparently no one contested the new version. A Georgia history book for children published in 1906 includes a full-page color rendering of this design, indicating this to be the state flag of Georgia.
