This is an original vintage Hermès scarf by designer Hugo Grygkar, circa 1976. The scarf is entitled "Arms of the United States" and depicts all of the state seals of the 50 American states.

This original oil painting on canvas, entitled American Flags, was painted by Dennis Lyall in 1988. The work originally appeared in the Fleetwood Triptych panel for the U.S. Flag stamps series. Lyall signed the work underneath the rightmost flag. Presented in a simple black archival frame, the painting depicts several variations of the American flag throughout the country’s history. Dennis Lyall, the artist, was born in Iowa and attended the University of Kansas. As a student, Lyall was awarded a Gold Medal by the Society of Illustrators. Afterwards, he worked as an illustrator for many years on advertisements for companies such as Nabisco, National Geographic Magazine, and NBC. Lyall is perhaps most known for his contributions to stamp design. Overall, the U.S. Postal Service has issued 34 stamps using his designs. This painting is one such example of his artwork that was used for the U.S. Flags stamp series. Lyall has served as a member of the Board of Directors for the Society of Illustrators in New York City and his works are part of the permanent collections of the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Air Force, and more. Artfully depicting several variations of the American flag, this painting reminds us that the flag we know today is only one of many different flags throughout the country’s history. Flags such as the Liberty Tree Flag, the Grand Union Flag, the well-known Betsy Ross Flag...
