Title: The Symbols, Standards, Flags, and Banners of Ancient and Modern Nations.
Medium: book
Main author(s): George Henry Preble
Edition (publisher: place): The Flag Research Center (United States)
Language: English
Edition date: 1980 (1st ed.)
Pages: 156
Format: 8½×5½ in.
Remarks: Photographic reproduction of the 1880 [pre80] or 1882 [pre82] edition.

It appears to be a photographic reproduction, but since it is only 156 pages long it must be of only a portion of Preble’s book. The last page mentions events which happened in 1878 and cites a newspaper account which appeared in 1880, so it is obviously not from the original, 1872, edition [pre78].
Ned Smith, 25 Aug 1999

This edition of the Preble book probably includes only the section on foreign flags. It must be either the 2nd [pre80b] or 3rd ed [pre82].
