The number in the title suggests this is one of several renderings of a great seal gathered on the board, so it is worth looking at the details that set this version apart from its companions. Seals of this kind were designed to carry a state's or nation's authority on official papers, and their imagery was chosen to express founding ideals, local resources, and civic pride. The Washington State seal, adopted after statehood in 1889, centers on a portrait of George Washington, linking the new state to the first president. Comparing the emblems, borders, and inscriptions across the series shows how designers balanced those symbols over time.
