Journey around the world in 199 flags! This fun horizontal hardcover offers a stylish introduction to the iconography of independence. Graphic designer Orith Kolodny demystifies the recurring colours and visual components of national flags, exploring the meaning behind each detail in an entertaining and accessible way. Organised by design rather than geography - a boon to anyone interested in memorizing which flags are which - this captivating compendium also reminds readers that countries with vastly different climates and cultures often have more in common than one might expect.
