In 1907 the Pennsylvania state flag was approved. It uses the state coat of arms designed in 1777 to replace the coat of arms of William Penn, the former proprietor of the colony. The field is of national blue, which poses a problem of visibility for the black horses standing on gold scrollwork on either side of the shield. The motto “Virtue, Liberty, and Independence” runs beneath them on a banner. Like many other state flags, Pennsylvania's is bordered with a knotted yellow fringe. Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright's mdernist house, sits above a waterfall surrounded by dense green forest.
