History of the Great Seal
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMONWEALTHHISTORY OF THE GREAT SEAL OF THE COMMONWEALTHVirginia’s great seal was adopted by the Virginia Convention on July 5, 1776. Its design was thework of a committee chaired by George Mason, who was the principal author of the VirginiaDeclaration of Rights and the first Virginia Constitution. George Wythe, Richard Henry Lee, andRobert Carter Nicholas also served as members of the committee. Taking its theme from ancientRoman mythology, the seal emphasizes the importance of civic virtue.The original design was never properly cast and a number of variations came into use.Attempting to legislate uniformity, the General Assembly of 1873 and 1903 passed acts describing theseal in detail. In 1930, a committee was named to prepare an “accurate and faithful description of thegreat seal of this Commonwealth, as it was intended to be by Mason and Wythe and their associates.”The committee set forth the official design in use today, which is essentially the design adopted by theVirginia Convention of 1776.The obverse side of the great seal depicts the Roman goddess Virtus representing the genius ofthe Commonwealth. She is dressed as an Amazon, a sheathed sword in one hand and a spear in theother and one foot on the form of Tyranny who is pictured with a broken chain in his left hand, ascourge in his right and his fallen crown nearby, implying that the struggle has ended in completevictory. Virginia’s motto, “Sic Semper Tyrannis” (Thus Always to Tyrants), appears at the bottom.On the reverse side of the seal are three Roman goddesses, Libertas (Liberty) in the centerholding a wand and pileus in her right hand, Aeternitas (Eternity) with a globe and phoenix in herright hand, and Ceres (Fruitfulness) with a cornucopia in her left hand and an ear of wheat in her right.At the top is the word “Perserverando” (By Preserving). A border of Virginia creeper encircles thedesigns on each side.Official colors were established by the Art Commission in 1949 and a watercolor, the onlyofficial model for flag makers and stationers, hangs in the office of the Secretary of theCommonwealth.The great seal, imprinted on two metallic discs two and one-fourth inches in diameter, is affixedto documents signed by the Governor and intended for use before tribunals or for purposes outside ofthe jurisdiction of Virginia. The lesser seal, a smaller version of the obverse side of the great seal (oneand nine-sixteenth inches in diameter) is used on commissions for gubernatorial appointees andnotaries, and to authenticate the signature of the Secretary of the Commonwealth.The Secretary of the Commonwealth is designated by the Code of Virginia as the keeper of theseals.6
Facts on Virginia
FACTS ON VIRGINIACapitol Building, RichmondPhoto courtesy of the Governor’s OfficeThe cornerstone for the Virginia Capitol Building was laid on August 18, 1785; the building wascompleted in 1792. Modeled after the Maison Carree at Nimes, France, the Capitol was the firstpublic building in the United States to be built using the Classical Revival style of architecture.Thomas Jefferson designed the central section of the Capitol, its most outstanding feature being theinterior dome, which is undetectable from the exterior; the wings were added in 1906 to house theSenate and House of Delegates. In 2007, in time to receive the Queen of England during thecelebration of the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown Settlement, the Capitol underwent an extensiverestoration, renovation and expansion, including the addition of a state of the art Visitor’s Center thatwill ensure that it remains a working capital well into the 21 st Century. More information on theCapitol building can be found at http://www.virginiacapitol.govVirginia was named for Queen Elizabeth I of England, the “Virgin Queen.” Virginia is alsoknown as the “Old Dominion.” King Charles II of England gave it this name in appreciation ofVirginia’s loyalty to the crown during the English Civil War of the mid-1600s.
