#1. Flags and State Iconography of Hashemite Iraq, 1921 to 1958—John Andrews


The first presenter for NAVA 54 Online was John Andrews.  Andrews, gave nn informative presentation on the flags that have flown over Iraq.  In the slide above Andrews traced the origins of many of the Middle Eastern Arabic to flags that flew at the earlier part of the 1900s.  These first colours of the Arab Revolt against the Turks would provide 'a representational framework.'  Although many of these clubs were short lived, their impact would continue unto today in 2020.   When the Otttomans 'cracked down on these Arab clubs' they 'gained reputations for subversive inclinations.'




Andrews also gave a stellar performance under the 'fire' of technical difficulties, maintaining composure and train of thought.
