EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: New Mexico State Capitol - A Symbol of Pride and Progress: A Detailed Look at the Great Seal of New Mexico 2. Description: This photograph showcases the exterior of the New Mexico State Capitol building in Santa Fe, with a focus on the intricate details of the Great Seal of the State of New Mexico. The image, taken in the 20th century (likely around 1966), captures the contemporary architectural style of the building and highlights the unique symbolism of the seal. 3. Background: The New Mexico State Capitol, completed in 1912, is a striking example of Beaux-Arts architecture. The building's facade is adorned with various symbols and inscriptions, the most prominent of which is the Great Seal of the State of New Mexico. The seal, designed by Robert Mckee and approved by the New Mexico Territorial Legislature in 1911, represents the state's rich history and its connection to the United States. 4. Symbolism: The seal features a shield divided into four quarters. The first quarter displays a golden eagle with an arrow in its talons and a crescent moon above, symbolizing the state's motto, "Crescit Eundo," or "It Grows as it Goes." The second quarter includes a red and gold Kruger cross, representing the state's Spanish heritage. The third quarter features a star and the word "New Mexico," while the fourth quarter displays a bald eagle with an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other, symbolizing peace and war. 5. Inscriptions: The seal also includes various inscriptions in Latin, including "Quaerite Primum Regnum Dei," which translates to "Seek First the Kingdom of God," and "E Pluribus Unum," the national motto of the United States, meaning "Out of Many, One." 6. Conclusion: This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and symbolism of the New Mexico State Capitol and its Great Seal. The image serves as a testament to the state's unique heritage and its place within the United States.
