Historical Context
The Trumbull Continental Flag is the flag depicted in John Trumbull’s iconic 1786 painting “The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker Hill,” representing the flag flown by American forces at the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775. It is a variant of New England flags, featuring a red field with a white canton and green pine tree—a symbol of colonial strength and independence. British accounts noted a red flag, while Trumbull’s painting immortalized this design as a key Revolutionary War emblem, bridging colonial ties and the push for liberty.
