This 1891 chromolithograph, part of the *National Flags* series by Wm. S. Kimball & Co., depicts the flag of China. The image features a yellow flag with a blue dragon, a symbol of power and imperial authority in Chinese culture. The flag's design is simplified and stylized, typical of the time, and is a valuable representation of how Westerners perceived China and its symbols during this era.
