Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia
The Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia are official legislative records of the colony's assembly, edited by H. R. McIlwaine and John Pendleton Kennedy and published in Richmond by the Virginia State Library, with this volume covering the 1619 session. The three pictures are seals: a British royal coat of arms with lion and unicorn, a Virginia coat of arms with two armoured figures and a red cross, and a colonial provincial seal showing a standing governor and a kneeling Native figure. A designer could draw on their heraldic framing, circular seal borders and Latin lettering as models for emblems and badges.
