Presentation of the proposals
In
Fahnen, Flags, Drapeaux
(Proceedings of the XVth
International Congress of Vexillology, Zurich, 23-27 August 1993
[icv93]
), there is a paper by Carole
Lager entitled
Le drapeau européen, histoire et
symbolisme
(The European flag, history and symbolism)
[lag99]
.
Lager's paper includes a colour plate showing proposals for the European flag, originally published by P.M.G. Lévy and P. Martin, as
Un drapeau pour l'Europe
(A
flag for Europe) in
Saisons d'Alsace
, 1950, #3.
The two first flags showed on the plate are those of the two private
European movements which existed in 1950:
The other proposals shown on the colour plate are unfortunately
not discussed by C. Lager and will be presented below and in
Part II
without further comments but a short description.
