The cover of [sie63] shows what the book describes as approximately a quarter of a flagchart, one of many to roll of the, mostly Dutch, presses for the use of seafarers: "Tableau des Pavillons que la Plupart des Nations arborent a` la Mer.

On the 3rd row from the bottom there is "Pav. de Livourne" - A white flag with a narrow malthese cross with arced ends, with at each end a disc as wide as the arm fitting the arc, but not quite touching it, all red.

1848 Flag


from <www.provincia.livorno.it>

At <www.provincia.livorno.it> you can see the flag of Livorno (battle flag?)  in 1848. The inscription is "LIVORNO NELLA PRIMA GUERRA DI INDIPENDENZA - Bandiera tricolore con stemma granducale lorenense". As I understand it is the tricolour charged with the Lorain Archdukes arms...
