Summary
DescriptionHopkinsonGreatSealDesignObverse.jpg |
The obverse side of Francis Hopkinson's design for the Great Seal of the United States, done as part of the second committee (of three) to attempt a design. This was not used, though some elements (the constellation of stars surrounded by cloudes, the olive branch, the thirteen red and white stripes on the shield, and the general theme of peace and war) were used in the final design. The description in the committee's final report was: This was a modification of a design made by Hopkinson a few days previously, where the warrior was depicted as an American Indian with a bow and arrow. |
