Archivo:Flag of Franceville.svg

Flag of Independent Commune of Franceville (1889-1890), in the colonial New Hebrides (present day Vanuatu). The interpretation of the description includes: a red square 1/3 in height/width of the flag's height, a blue square on top of the red square and 8/30 in height/width of the flag's height, a white square behind the red square and 12/30 in height/width of the flag's height, radius of the five-pointed stars are 1/6 of the flag's height, all five blue five-pointed stars have been arranged on top of each other on a vertical line, aligned vertically to the right 1/6 of the flag's width and aligned horizontally with a distance of 1/6 of the flag's height. Credits This version (12 May 2008) fits the authoritative description given in E.N. Imhaus (1890), Les Nouvelles-Hébrides: avec une carte et sept gravures, p 160: "mi partie blanc et rouge, en disposition verticale, comme le drapeau H du Code de commerce, avec un carré bleu au centre, débordant sur le blanc et le rouge et cinq étoiles dans le bleu." See discussion page for English translation. 2:3 dimensions are based partly on template at Historical Flags (Vanuatu) (FOTW) and the colours are choosen from the Union Jack. Construction details of the other version (8 June 2008) were based on the description given in Tom Harrisson (1937), Savage Civilisation, page 302: "an interesting flag, half blue, half red, vertically (like the 'H' of commercial code), with a blue square in the centre bordered by red and white, and five blue stars" (see Flag of Franceville.png for the source of the description).
