Vintage etching-style illustration of an American flag angling diagonally upward from lower-left to upper-right, the fabric caught mid-ripple with deep undulating folds, rendered entirely in fine cross-hatched and stippled ink strokes giving strong tonal depth. The canton's stars are individually sketched as tiny outlined five-point stars packed in rows, stripes shaded with layered parallel hatching. No flagpole visible — the flag appears as a free-floating waving form. Below, hand-lettered open serif capitals read 'BORN FREE STAY FREE' with modest letter spacing, underlined by a thin double rule. A small centered line below reads '250 YEARS' in delicate fine-weight serif type. All ink in deep charcoal black on solid #FFFFFF. Composition is portrait-oriented, flag filling the upper two-thirds. | PODspy AI Design
