MEXICAN NATIONAL FLAG IN THE DESIGN USED BY REVOLUTIONARIES FROM 1917 - 1934, THE FIRST PERIOD IN WHICH THE EAGLE WAS ILLUSTRATED IN SIDE VIEW; MADE OF GABARDINE WOOL AND WOOL BUNTING, WITH RICH COLORS AND A HAND-PAINTED DEVICE, USED IN THE LATTER YEARS OF THE ERA OF PONCHO VILLA (b. 1878, d. 1923) Flag of Mexico, in the design adopted in 1917 by the revolutionary government, in use until a re-design of the seal took place in 1934. This covered part of the principal era of Francisco "Poncho" Villa. The field is comprised of the expected vertical bars of green, white, and red, with the charge on the white bar. This is the first period in which the device consisted of an eagle in side view, instead of with breast forward. Perched on a rock that protrudes from a body of water, with prickly pear cactus growing outward and upward from each side, the war-like bird grips a rattlesnake in its proper right talon and beak. The image is cradled within an open wreath of oak and laurel branches, tied with a bow at their juncture, in the bottom center. The bow is striped with the national colors. One year before this flag was accepted, in 1916, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson sent General John Pershing to capture Poncho Villa, whose loyalty shifted as he attempted to gain power. The chase ended abruptly in 1917, when the U.S. entered WWI (U.S. involvement 1917-1918). It was in this year that the U.S. recognized the Carranza government of Mexican Revolutionaries...
