The caption actually reads:

Review of Reviews Federal Flag adopted as the National Flag by the Commonwealth Government

Four ‘Review of Reviews’ Competitors Successful

The article then began:

What is the flag of Australia? The design on the cover of the present issue “gives answer” — for it has been chosen from over 30,000 others by the five expert judges, and recommended for adoption as the Commonwealth flag.

For many years, the cover of the September 1901 issue of Review of Reviews was unknown. The various state libraries had the habit of binding old journals and removing the covers of individual issues. A few years ago, John Vaughan managed to locate a copy of the journal with the cover intact. This particular copy has an inscription which shows that it was previously owned by E. J. Nuttal, one of the flag design competition winners. The cover and the article have been reproduced as a facsimile edition and many copies have been distributed by ANFA. I am not aware of any website that has reproduced the full text and illustrations of the article.

[a9u56]

Remarks: Authorship attributed to Prime Minister’s Department by the Australian National Library Catalogue. Illustrated. Reprinted as [cxa96d].

The publication details were given as «By Authority: A J Arthur, C’wealth Govt. Printer, Canberra». Crux Australis issue number 47 [cxa96b] contained a full reproduction of the original 1950s edition; no date was given as to the year of publication — accordingly it was estimated to be 1957. After the reproduction in Crux was made, Elizabeth Kwan has identified the exact date of publication being 1956. Elizabeth Kwan, in a footnote [kwa06] indicates that subsequent editions were published in 1971 [a9u71], 1977 [a9u77], 1979 [a9u79], 1981 [a9u81a], 1982 [a9u82] and 1985 [a9u85].

[a9u65]

Remarks: Printed on both sides. 101 to 105 national flags; 10 Australian flags.

The Flags of the Nations flag chart was published the National Australia Bank Ltd. (formerly The National Bank of Australasia Ltd.) intermittently since the mid to late 1950’s. As a child / teenager I use to visit a local branch of this bank to obtain a free copy of each new edition. My earliest copy is dated 1 Nov. 1965 [a9u65]. It is believed that the Bank first started to produced this chart when it became a sponsor of The Scout and Girl Guides Associations of Australia and its Jamborees in the 1950’s. Throughout its history this Chart was printed on both sides.

The Flag Society of Australia (now called Flags Australia) first became involved with the preparation of this Chart early 1984, when John Edwards was invited by the Bank to review and correct any errors in the then existing Chart [a9u83a]: A new corrected edition of this Chart was published in July 1984 [a9u84b]

At this point of time the National Australia Bank was also a sponsor of the then forthcoming 13th. I.C.V. in Melbourne (Sept. 1989). This edition began a staged expansion of the Chart’s Australian and international flag contents. I was involved in further editions and content expansions in June 1990 [a9u90] and June 1992 [a9u92a].

The Bank also asked me to prepare another edition of the Flags of the Nations chart in the mid 1990’s, but due to internal Bank restructuring it was never completed. Had this latest edition been printed, all flags would have appeared in their correct proportions, instead of the previous uniform 2:3 for the international flags.

My personal collection of the Flags of the Nations chart covers the following editions:

• 1 Nov. 1965 [a9u65],
• 17 Aug. 1967 [a9u67],
• c.1969 [a9u69] (undated),
• 28 Oct. 1971 [a9u71a],
• Nov. 1973 [a9u73],
• Jan. 1977 [a9u77a],
• Aug. 1978 [a9u78],
• May 1980 [a9u80],
• Jan. 1982 [a9u82a],
• Jan. 1983 [a9u83],
• July 1983 [a9u83a],
• July 1984 [a9u84b] (reprints Aug. 1985 and Jan. 1987 with a new cover),
• April 1988 [a9u88a] (reprint April 1989),
• June 1990 [a9u90] (reprint Mar. 1991),
• and the last new edition in Nov. 1992 [a9u92a] (which was reprinted in Jan. 1994).

I was very sad to witness the ending of this worthy Chart, which, by default, was the first regularly updated Australian vexillological publication and had also become an institution to the people and schools of Australia.

The 1982 edition was a major re-write and was identified as the «first edition» of The Australian National Flag booklet.
Ralph Kelly, 22 Feb 2008

"ISBN 00-644-1623-X" doesn’’t check. The corrected ISBN 0-644-01623-X, which proofs and also makes more sense, is my own assumption, on the assumption of an interpretation error.
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 24 Feb 2008

"ISBN 0644 1623 X" is wrong in the publication. I have accurately transcribed the ISBN number as it appears on page 2 of the booklet — it only has 8 numbers and the letter X. However, I have looked up the publication in the catalogue of the National Library of Australia and it gives an extra 0 in the number: ISBN 00 644 1623 X.

[a9u84]

Remarks: Album for [a9u8Xa]. Reviewed in [edj84c].

Rosella-Lipton Pty Ltd was a retailer of tea in Australia and it produced the equivalent of a cigarette cards promotional give away in the 1980s. The Crux review [edj84c] provides the following information:

Flags of the World poster and set of 50 cards. Produced by Rosella-Lipton Pty Ltd, April 1984. The poster size was 68cm (height) by 98cm width. The poster illustrated 170 flags and the 50 flag cards were intended to be stuck around the edge of the poster.

John Edwards’ [edj84c] review had the benefit of contact with and assistance from Rosella-Lipton Pty Ltd. He did not identify any specific author, so it was probably the marketing department of the company. It is possible that the promotion was not confined to Australia. The flag cards were inserts into packets of Liptons Tea. Liptons is still a major global tea company, part of Unilever (the Australian company is a subsidiary of the UK part of this Anglo-Dutch company).

Edwards closely reviewed the illustrations and came to the conclusion that most of the artwork came from The International Flag Book in Colour [ped71b] published by Blandford in 1971. Oddly, he did not identify the author of that book as Christian Fogd Pedersen.

[a9u84b]

Remarks: Printed on both sides. 154 to 164 national flags; 10 to 11 Australian flags.

This new corrected edition of the Chart was published in July 1984, in association with Evan Evans Flags of Melbourne. By the time the next edition of this Chart was required, John asked myself to take over the reviewing content editing. The contents of this next edition was prepared by myself (on behalf of the Society) and also Dr. Whitney Smith (Flag Research Center - U.S.A.), prior to its publication in April 1988.

[a9u85]

Remarks: Illustrations, chiefly coloured; coloured illustration on inside cover. Authorship attributed to Department of the Special Minister of State by the Australian National Library Catalogue.

The second edition was issued in 1985 with no change other than the name of the government department (ISBN 0 644 04046 7).

[a9u88]

Remarks: Illustrations, some coloured. Authorship attributed to Department of Administrative Services by the Australian National Library Catalogue.

The third edition was published in 1988 (ISBN 0-644-07660-7) with a revised cover illustration and another change of name the government department). This third edition was reprinted in

• January 1989,
• September 1989,
• March 1990,
• November 1991,
• May 1992 and
• November 1992 — the last copy that I have have: Published also by the Australian Government Publishing Service for the Department of Administrative Services. Same text and cover. The publishing history was listed on page 2. This was still identified as being the third edition. As far as I can tell the 1992 reprint is exactly identical to the 1988 edition (other than for the reprint details and a different printer).

The National Library of Australia Catalogue says it was reprinted in 1994, too.

[a9u90]

Remarks: Printed on both sides. 190 national flags; 19 Australian flags; 21 Australian hist. flags. Reviewed in [bto90]. Ralph Bartlett was the vexillological adviser to the National Bank for a number of the editions.

[a9u93]

[a9u93a]

Remarks: Reprinted in [bto95d].

This is a booklet issued by the Northern Territory Government — it is similar in content and style to the Australian National Flag booklet [a9u51], modified for the Northern Territory flag. Eight pages of the booklet are reproduced in Crux Australis 45 — apparently this is the full contents, but I don’t have a copy of the original to check. I don’t have a publication date, but it appears to be circa 1993.

Remarks: «Australian Flag Kit». Presented in [cxa92e].

This was a video made by Australian National Flag Association in 1995. It was packaged into a vinyl box that also contained a booklet with teachers notes relating to the video, John Vaughan’s poster [vau83] and a similar poster (Emblems of Australia), ANFA brochures and some flag stickers. The video kit was sold to schools and flag patriots (for donation to schools).

Remarks: Collection Urban Fantasies; presentation on line. Authorship uncertain: either Paul Wilson or David King, but apparently not both.

It is not the usual flag book — rather a novel with flags as main plot element; see fic_veex.html.
