EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Coat of Arms of Bristol, England, as depicted in The Business Encyclopaedia and Legal Adviser published in 1907. The emblem is a testament to the city's rich history and values. Dominating the design are two majestic unicorns, symbolizing purity and strength, flanking a magnificent ship sailing on calm waters towards prosperity. These elements represent Bristol's maritime heritage and its reputation as a thriving trading port. Intriguingly, the arms also feature two outstretched arms holding a vibrant green serpent entwined around them. This striking image signifies wisdom and knowledge gained through experience. Just below this mesmerizing scene lies a set of golden scales representing justice and fairness - core principles upheld by Bristolians throughout generations. The heraldic blazon adorning this shield proudly displays the motto "Virtute et Industria" meaning virtue and industry. It serves as an enduring reminder for citizens to strive for excellence through hard work while maintaining high moral standards. Preserved from the early 20th century, this archival illustration offers us a glimpse into Bristol's historical past with its intricate details meticulously captured by Ken Welsh. As we admire this emblematic badge of honor, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era where craftsmanship was revered, heraldry celebrated tradition, and symbols told stories that resonated across generations.
