## Separators

THE DISTRICT FLAG IS THE SEPARATOR ON THIS SERIES. That is the THIRD graphic separator found in this group, after New Jersey's state outline and Maryland's War of 1812 flag device, and the pattern is now unmistakable: US jurisdictions routinely put a DEVICE where European ones put a hyphen.
