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
