[edit] Contradiction?
The image of the territorial seal doesn't match the description that says there is a banner with the Latin motto and then "Seal of the Territory of Oregon" above around the edge. Is there an image available that shows this (I assume there were different versions) or and/or does the text need to be modified to explain this? Also don't forget to mention the mountain(s) (Hood?) in the territorial seal. Katr67 (talk) 20:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- Here is the one with it, but due to poor quality I think it's best to leave the current one there. If someone clicks on the image in the article they can exam the much larger version of the seal. As to mountains, I didn't see a mention in that source of the mountains or which ones they were. Aboutmovies (talk) 01:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Oregon State Capitol
Does anyone have a close up of the seal embedded in the rotunda of the capitol? There's this one by Cacophony, but it doesn't show any detail: Image:ORCapitolFoyer.jpg. Not sure if it's trivia to add a sentence like "In the floor of the Oregon State Capitol rotunda there is an embedded Oregon State Seal sculpted in bronze by Ulric Ellerhusen.
