The Great Seal of Oregon, 1850. Creator: Unknown.

The Great Seal of Oregon, 1850. 'The design represents the mouth of the Columbia river, and beyond is the Pacific Ocean; in the foreground is a man ploughing, indicating that agriculture has already commenced in the Territory. The steam-boat on the river denotes the extension of commerce. To the right is an Indian retiring before the advance of civilisation, his bow and arrows in his hand, and his blanket drawn around him; the setting sun is emblematical of his last day. Still further to the right are the Rocky Mountains, which, with the river, are the principal geographical characteristics of the territory'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
