About the flag

According to [alv86], the 1812 flag became a model for the first codified flag of the Paraguayan Republic introduced by the General Congress on November 25, 1842, which paid tribute officially to the ideals of the French Revolution.

The image in [gmc17] (page 369; flag #501, as «Paraguay Ensign») matches very well the ratio for the period, 333:500.

Shown in the Flaggenbuch [neu92] as «National Flag, Naval and Merchant Ensign, Diplomatic Offices’ Flag».
