Description: "Bandera" diagrammed at the bottom of California's official Declaration of Independence from Mexico in 1846 and signed Pío Pico, Juan Bandini, et al..
Title: Pío Pico Bear Flag
Credit: Own work This version of a Bear Flag is the first in official use (see below). It is unique in that the red bar is vertical rather than horizontal More information about this version of the Bear Flag can be found at: https://flagspot.net/flags/us-ca46.html http://www.vom.com/bearflag/sobearfl.html http://loeser.us/flags/california.html Note: The original, attributed to Pio Pico, appears on California Proclamation of Independence, mentioned on the first website above. Because the original source shows only a conceptual sketch, the color and style of bear and star cannot be determined, and so they are commonly redrawn as red, black, or in natural color.
