Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia
A published edition of the colonial legislative journals of the Virginia House of Burgesses, edited by H. R. McIlwaine and John Pendleton Kennedy and issued by the Virginia State Library in Richmond, covering the assembly's proceedings from 1619. The pictures are small engraved seals, the royal arms of George III with supporters and motto, and a seal showing a standing governor and a kneeling Native figure with the legend Sigillum Provinciae Nostrae Virginia in America, plus a spiral whirlwind sketch; a designer might draw on their heraldic symmetry and circular seal borders.
