Sharing interesting 'Turnback Tuesday' about CT state seal from this date in 2018

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features this postcard for the State of Connecticut.

In the top right-hand corner is a part of the Great Seal of the State of CT. The three grape vines support and bear fruit while the ribbon below contains the Latin Motto “Oui Transtulit Sustinet” which means “He who transplanted sustains.”

This has been a part of the seal since May of 1784.

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
