Douglass
On flags, but covering same sort of ground and, from memory, drawing on
general literature on symbolism. I assume no ones come up with anything
else worthwhile in the intervening 33 years.
Weitzman, Sasha R.
National flags: a sociological overview
Semiotica 8 [4] 1973
Also Dennis Altman has a book on the stories behind stamp designs. DA is a
political economist and I think the book took a stamps as political art
perspective, despite format done as a popular read.
cheers
