Caption: Star Spangled Banner
Additional Description: The day after the battle Key's song was printed in Baltimore, and sung throughout the city. This early copy of the sheet music reflects the joy and pride of Americans in maintaining their independence. Not until 1931 did Congress make the song out national anthem. To see all four verses of the song, view the bronze plaque on the back side of the Key Monument. Close-up of image on marker
