Hello all,

Today is the 130th birthday of the arrival of the Statue of Liberty in New York.

I Thought it would be a great time to share the document conveying ownership to the United States from France, which I saw online.  particularly since there is a heraldic connection.

I am particularly interested in the coat of arms on the right side of the page.  On the left side, it’s clearly the arms of the US.  Wondering if the one on the right is associated with the Third Republic?

 

Incidentally, this was a difficult post on which to decide which category to place it in the forums.  If it needs to go elsewhere, please feel free to move.

There was no official coat of arms of the Third Republic, but they did employ some related, stylized emblems.

From wikipedia:

Definitely a related symbol. I think the black fess is supposed to be white. The document may have eroded in a funny way over time.

The stripes on the U.S. shield are also black, at least around the edges. I suspect the artist decided to use silver paint for argent, and it’s either tarnished over time or simply doesn’t show up well with whatever scanner they used.  (The silver ink would be opaque, while what looks like water colors on the rest of the document would be translucent.)
