1845 flag (Proposal)

[Flag of Costa Rica]
by Jaume Ollé, 26 August 1997 and Ivan Sache, 14 August 2013

After the presidency of Braulio Carrillo (1838-42) the political struggle was intense. In those years the liberals proposed the addition of the red color (the color of the liberals) because the French flag (associated with liberty) has blue, white and red. Several proposals were made, and I have read some descriptions. The flag is surely only a proposal of this time, with clearly an American influence.

1848 flag

[Flag of Costa Rica]
by Jaume Ollé and Ivan Sache, 14 August 2013

In June 1848 President Castro Madriz moved to adopt a new flag (under the influence of his wife, who was an enthusiastic partisan of the French revolution) and the new flag was proclaimed on 29 September 1848. The flag had two variants: one, supposedly the correct one, with unequal stripes (blue, white, red, white, blue 1:1:2:1:1:); the other with the same colors but with five equal stripes. The shield is in the center of the flag. The merchant ensign is without the shield.
