Notes
Content: Exhibition TL 20.01: Treasures (https://www.nypl.org/events/exhibitions/treasures)
Content: Jack London carried this flag while he reported on the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905), as Russia and Japan fought to establish control of the Korean peninsula. The flag’s 13 stars denote the 13 colonies that declared independence from Great Britain and became the first states of the Union. Made by a Korean for London, the flag’s significance as a symbol of independence and fortitude would not have been lost on either the maker or the carrier. -- https://www.nypl.org/events/exhibitions/galleries/fortitude/item/5485
