 In the July 1856 "Harper's New Monthly Magazine", historian Benson John Lossing wrote an article on the Great Seal.To illustrate the article, along with copies of Hopkinson's and Barton's original drawings and his own interpretations of the first committee's designs, he also included an apparently original version of the reverse.This depiction more resembles the Egyptian pyramids, and changed the Eye of Providence to a left eye.
