  • The Kentucky State Seal”
    “The Kentucky State Seal” By Ron Bryant, Kentucky Historical Society One of the most frequently asked questions regarding Kentucky symbols is, "Who are the two men on the state seal?" The answer is simple. The two male figures on the official state seal are symbolic. The man in buckskin is not Daniel Boone and the man in the frock coat is not Henry Clay. In fact, the two men represented on the seal do not look like the two characters on the original seal. To understand what the symbols on the state seal and the state flag represent, one should look at the evolution of these symbols from 1792 to the present. The Commonwealth of Kentucky was less than a year old when, on December 20, 1792, the General Assembly approved an act to create the state seal. The act states: "Be it enacted by the General Assembly, that the Governor be empowered and is hereby required to provide at the public charge a seal for this Commonwealth; and procure the same to be engraved with the following device, viz; 'Two friends embracing, with the name of the state over their heads and around about the following motto: United we stand, divided we fall.' Until the seal could be crafted, the Kentucky Constitution provided that "The Governor shall be at liberty to use his private seal." David Humphreys, a Lexington silversmith, was awarded twelve pounds sterling to make the first seal and press for the state. This seal was lost in a fire which destroyed the capitol building in 1814.

  • Floral Clock
    Around Th e Capitol 1 State Capitol Kentucky became a state on June 1, 1792. The legislature in 1901 voted to spend $1 million for a new capitol building. The building was dedicated in 1910. The total cost of the building and furnishings was $1,820,000—a modest price, even in 1910. It is the state’s fourth capitol building. Frank Mills Andrews designed the Capitol and combined the form of Greek architecture with French styling. Andrews included French features on the inside of the Capitol with sculptured archways and cornices, hand-painted murals, stained-glass skylights, and dark mahogany wood. The Rotunda features statues of important Kentuckians, and the dome is patterned after the dome of Napoleon’s tomb in Paris. The elegant interior includes 36 large columns of Vermont granite. The Governor’s Offi ce and other executive branch offi ces are on the fi rst fl oor. The Supreme Court, the seat of the judicial branch of government, is on the second fl oor. The Senate and the House of Representatives meet in chambers at opposite ends of the third fl oor. 2 Governor’s Mansion The Governor’s Mansion is on the east lawn of the capitol grounds overlooking the Kentucky River. It was designed by Kentuckians CC and EA Weber of Fort Thomas. Nearly 80 feet wide and 200 feet long, the 25-room mansion is made of solid brick and limestone. Since 1914, Kentucky’s governors and their families have lived there. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and is one of the few executive residences in the United States open for guided tours.

    Franky's Scripophily BlogSpot Tales of Shares and Bonds Wednesday, December 24, 2014 The Dragons of the Banque Industrielle de Chine China, a rich culture and more than 3000 years of written history. The vignettes on the share certificate of the Banque Industrielle de Chine represent a cross section of China's cultural heritage. Included in this post are some pictures from my trip to China last summer. Banque Industrielle de Chine English: Industrial Bank of China Action Ordinaire de 500 Francs (ordinary share), 1913 Lithography printed by Charles Skipper & East double-click image to enlarge Page 1 of 99 Power and good fortune for the emperor For thousands of years, Chinese dragons symbolize power and good fortune. They are the rulers of moving bodies of water, such as waterfalls, rivers, or seas (Wikipedia). The Emperor of China used the dragon as a symbol of his imperial power. In contrast the Empress of China was identified by the mythological bird, Fenghuang. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is the main building of the Temple of Heaven complex in Beijing. The building is depicted in the certificate's underprint above. The circular wooden walls are decorated with many golden dragons. Picture: F. Leeuwerck .. and initially for the Banque Industrielle de Chine André Berthelot (1862–1938), French banker, politician and Director of the Pekin Syndicate , co-founds the Banque Industrielle de Chine (BIC) with the Belgian financier Edouard Empain.
