The first edition [b7b41] appeared in 1941 (on occasion of the 650th anniversary of Switzerland). But which edition was this? At least the 2nd, but I don’t know if there were more editions in that year.

The recoding of Croatia’s state symbols and of its culture of remembrance was shaped by two factors: firstly, the disintegration of the Yugoslavian state and the search for a distinctive national identity, and secondly, the desire for reconciliation within Croatia and for national continuity. This process became more emotionally charged as a result of the wars in the former Yugoslavia (1991-95) and the related memories of World War II, which made it impossible for a dispassionate exchange of views about the recent past to take place.

The Olympic World Library has published in PDF format the flag manual of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Unfortunatelly in both manuals (this one and Sochi 2014 [r9u13]) flag depictions are not vectorized images but pixeled ones. Another big and notorious absence in both manuals is that, as a difference to prior manuals such as that of London 2012 [g9b12], there is no indication of color shades.
Juan Manuel Gabino Villascan, 29 Apr 2017

The official website of The Olympic Studies Centre mentions two volumes («Vol. 1 : Maio-May 2016. - Vol. 2 : Agosto-August 2016.») but the cover of the downloadable PDF states «August 2016» and its contents seem to be complete. Was the May 2016 issue not a first volume but a first edition, perhaps?

Remarks: Three series (25-27) with six cards each. Available on line.

I would place the date of the set between 1930 and 1937. The cards couldn’t be pre-1930 because they show the modern black and red flag of Paraíba with the inscription "Négo", which was adopted in late 1930.

There are two clues to the latest possible date. Getúlio Vargas outlawed state flags in Brazil from 1937 to 1946, so the cards would not likely have been issued between those years. That they were not issued after 1946 is evident from the spellings of the names of several states. The names of Minas Geraes, Parahyba, Piauhy, Goyaz, and Matto Grosso were all changed in 1943 to Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Piauí, Goiás, and Mato Grosso. So the cards must have been issued before the 1937 Vargas ban on state symbols.

Because the Parahyba card shows both the Négo flag as well as an earlier design (the only state for which two flags are shown), I am inclined to think that the cards probably come from the earlier years of the 1930-37 period, but that’s harder to prove. A possible clue on this point is that the series name for the cards, "state flags" is spelled interchangeably "bandeiras estadoaes" and "bandeiras estaduais".

This source is an encyclopedic dictionary in 3 volumes that includes a flag plate (totalling 160 flags) near the entry about "flag" (in volume I, 934 p.). This a Brazilian translation and adaptation of the Larousse dictionary, in French. This Brazilian adaptation was published in Portugal without changes. Encyclopedias usually have large editorial teams, and so the "main author(s)" field doen’s apply. In this case, the credits occupy a whole page.
Jorge Candeias, 06 Feb 2005

I suspect my copy is identical to Jorge’s, or very simlar: The 5th reprint, issued on 1981.12; its title is Dicionário Enciclopédico Koogan Larousse Selecções; I’m not sure whether that’s also the title of the Brazilian edition. The co-publisher and printer for my copy is «Selecções do Reader’s Digest: Lisboa». The original Brazilian edition had only two volumes: the 3rd volume was added to the version published in Portugal: it’s divided in several thematic chapters, in true encyclopedic fashion, each under attributed authorship (including one on Geneologic Heraldry, by Bénard Guedes).

The other volumes are in dictionary style, with headings sorted from "A" to "Z": common nouns in vol. 1, proper names in volume 2; there is no indication of individual authorship, as said. Also as said, entry "bandeira" ("flag") is in vol. 1, p.__, and it’s followed by 3 non-numbered pages with the usual grid-like rank-and-file flag-chart images, mostly in ~2:3 homogeneous ratio and limited palette, in a total of 160 flags — mostly national flags plus a few of international organizations and assorted others. (Some are noteworthy.)

I presume most, if not all, of these illustrations were taken wholesale from the French original («Librerie Larousse, Paris, 1977») and are therefore well known internationally. Given the contemporary editorial and cultural landscape, I suspect that this set of flags caused more impact among the Brazilian and Portuguese budding vexillologist than its original had in France, for relative lack of competing sources.
