There Are No Foreign Lands

This flag is made up of a number of smaller flags called 'Egyptiennes'. These are like cigarette cards, but made of fabric, and date from the 1930s when they were a feature of a type of cigarette called Egyptienne. There are flags from towns, states and countries all over the world, some of them no longer in existence. A text from Robert Louis Stevenson is stitched into the flag. It reads 'There are no foreign lands. It is the traveller only who is foreign'
