Flag of the Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia (1871-1906) Hoodie
A Striking Symbol of Colonial History
This hoodie showcases a captivating design, faithfully recreating the flag flown by the Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia from 1871 to 1906. It's a striking visual testament to a pivotal era in Canadian and British colonial history.
Design Elements: A Union of Symbols
The central element of the design is the Union Jack, the iconic flag of the United Kingdom, representing British sovereignty over the province. At its heart lies the distinctive 1870 British Columbia badge, presented on a white circular disk.
The Central Emblem: A Sun that Never Sets
The British Columbia badge features a powerful and evocative image: a setting sun casting its rays over a smaller representation of the Union Jack. This imagery directly references the vast British Empire, famously described as the realm "upon which the sun never sets." The inscription "BRITISH COLUMBIA" encircles the central design.
Symbolism and Meaning
The flag's design is rich in symbolism. It signifies the union of British Columbia with the Dominion of Canada, while simultaneously emphasizing the province's place within the British Empire. The setting sun alludes to the far-reaching influence of the Empire, with a visual connection to the province's location on the Pacific coast. This design presents a compelling glimpse into a specific era in British Columbia's history, perfectly reflecting its unique status within the global British Empire.
