- Lot Description
Dennis Lyall (American, B. 1946) "The First Pledge of Allegiance" Signed lower center. Original Oil painting on Canvas.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood Commerative Cover for Old Glory's Proudest Moments postmarked on the anniversary September 8, 2002. In 1892, the Boston-based Youth's Companion magazine, the Reader's Digest of its day, sponsored a national program to advance patriotism by encouraging the display of the flag over every American schoolhouse. Working with educators, the magazine organized a National Public School Celebration for October 12, the 400th Anniversary of Columbus' first voyage to the New World, coinciding with the great Columbian Exposition to be held in Chicago. Francis Bellamy, a former Baptist minister who worked for Youth's Companion, wrote an allegiance pledge that was published in the magazine on September 8, 1892. Encouraged by a special proclamation by President Benjamin Harrison, 12 million school children in 44 states recited the Youth's Companion pledge on October 21, 1892, and flags were raised over schoolhouses. Throughout the country this Pledge of Allegiance quickly became a standard fixture of the school day. In 1923, twenty patriotic organizations met to formulate a Flag Code, and nearly two decades later, in 1942, Congress adopted a U.S. Flag Code that established the Pledge of Allegiance in law and instructed civilians to place their hands over their hearts during the recitation. On June 14, 1954, the words "under God" were signed into law by President Eisenhower. The Pledge has remained unchanged ever since. It is always voluntary because, according to a 1943 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, to require it would violate the very freedoms symbolized by the flag.
