Title: Principaux pavillons
(in English: Main flags at sea)
Medium: article in a non-vexillological source
Language: French
Source title: Dictionnaire Gazier
Source number (date): (1909)
Source pages: 549
Source edition (publisher: place): Librairie Armand Colin: Paris (France)

Gazier’s dictionary was published in Paris by Librairie Armand Colin in 1909. It includes, p. 549, a plate entitled “Principaux pavillons” (Main flags at sea). The vexillological accuracy of the plate is fairly low. Accordingly, we could consider that the vexillological awareness in the beginning of the XXth century was very weak. However, other dictionaries such as Bouasse-Lebel’s encyclopaedia (end of the XIXth century) and Larousse’s dictionaries and encyclopaedias , include much more accurate flag plates.

In Gazier's plate, flags are shown in black and white (the dictionary is printed in black and white), and the colours of the fields are written directly on the flag images, which does not improve their legibility.

The plate shows seven rows of four flags each. Several images have gross mistakes, according to the modern standards (no pun intended) of vexillology. It is clear, however, that the aim of the plate was a help to the quick identification of the most common flags rather than their accurate description. A scan of the plate is attached to this message as . I have reduced the size of the original scan in order to remain under 25 Ko, but a more legible image will be placed on our website in due time.

I give below the list of the flags, from upper left to lower right corners of the plate. I comment only the images deserving it.

  • France
  • Germany Allemagne: Horizontally divided black-white-red flag with the double-headed eagle in the middle. I have not been able to find such a flag.
  • Austria Autriche: Yellow flag with a border made of triangles (colour not mentioned) and the double-headed eagle in the middle. This might be a rectangular representation of the imperial flag or an infantry flag.
  • Belgium Belgique
  • Danemark Denmark: Red flag with the white cross, swallow-tailed. This would be the “splitflag”, that is the service flag and naval ensign and jack.
  • Spain Espagne: Horizontally divided yellow-red-yellow flag, with very thin yellow stripes and the arms in the middle. This would be, with arms properly skewed to the hoist, the war flag, service and naval ensign and jack.
  • Greece Grèce: Flag with the cross in canton and horizontal stripes, the canton “lying” on the fifth stripe instead of the fourth.
  • Holland Hollande, sic
  • British Isles Iles Britanniques, sic: Red Ensign with the Union Jack in canton (marked red and blue, there was probably not enough space to write white), completely symmetrical.
  • Italy Italie: Vertically divided green-white-red flag with the crowned arms in the middle. Would be the war ensign.
  • Norway Norvège: Double swallow-tailed flag. Would be the service and war flag.
  • Portugal: The 1830 flag
  • Russia Russie: Yellow flag with the arms. Would be the Tsar’s personal flag.
  • Sweden Suède: Same pattern as the flag shown for Norway.
  • Switzerland Suisse: Red flag with a thinned white cross.
  • Turkey Turquie: Red flag with thinned crescent and star.
  • Montenegro-Serbia Montenegro-Serbie, sic: Horizontally divided red-blue-white flag.
  • Romania Roumanie: Horizontally divided blue-yellow-red flag.
  • Tunisia Tunisie: Red flag with mirrored emblem.
  • Morocco-Tripoli Maroc-Tripoli, sic: Plain red flag.
  • Egypt Egypte: Purple flag with thin crescent and stars.
  • United States Etats-Unis: Stars and stripes with ten stars (3:2:3:2) in canton. It should have had 45 (1896-1908) or 46 stars (1908-1912, after the incorporation of Oklahoma). A ten-star Stars and Stripes does not seem to have ever existed.
  • Mexico Mexique
  • Brazil Brésil
  • Chile Chili
  • Peru Peru
  • Chine Chine: Yellow flag with the dragon. Would be the jack, if properly designed as a rectangle triangle.
  • Japan Japon
