Picture of the day

The Seal of Arkansas, as depicted in the 1876 book The State Arms of the Union. Adopted in 1864, it contains the Angel of Mercy, the Sword of Justice and the Goddess of Liberty, as well as a bald eagle with a bundle of arrows in one claw and an olive branch in the other; a scroll at the bottom is inscribed Regnant Populi. The seal was modified in 1907; this revised design remains in use today.Illustration: Henry Mitchell; restoration: Andrew Shiva

The illustrated "coat of arms" seems to be different from the other illustrated seal included in the article as being from the same time period - that seal also has a more consistent appearance with the 1907 "modification", which seems far more divergent from this image than a simple modification would imply. ~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by LNucleus (talk • contribs) 18:08, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
