Seal of New York City, as portrayed by Paul Manship’s standardized version.The seal’s 1.1:1 height-to-width ratio is intentional and representative Manship’s original model. The one departure in this rendering from the original is the use of beavers based on the 1623 seal of the Province of New Netherland in order to portray them in greater detail. Since Manship’s original was a sculpture rather than a print, there are no official standards for the seal colors. The version shown here represents the contributor's attempt to use as many historically accurate hues as possible. Including accounts of traditional Lenape dress, and 15th/16th century Dutch uniforms. The red, white, and blue of the wreath are taken from the battle flag of the Fifth New York Regiment of the Civil War, which depicts the arms of the City.
Current version: Own work based upon– Seal and Flag of the City of New York, G.P. Putnam’s Sons, New York: The Knickerbocker Press 1915.
