Picture of the day

This historical coat of arms of Florida is an illustration from State Arms of the Union by Henry Mitchell, published by Louis Prang in 1876. It depicts a shoreline on which a Seminole woman is sprinkling flowers. A steamboat sails by and further away, a cocoa palm is growing. In the background the sun is appearing over the horizon, with rays of sunlight extending into the sky.Illustration credit: Henry Mitchell; restored by Andrew Shiva
