We couldn’t let #NationalBirdDay fly by without crowing about the bird that appears on our national seal: the eagle.
In 1776, Pierre Du Simitière proposed a national seal that included an English rose🌹, Irish harp🎶, Scottish thistle🌱, French fleur-de-lis⚜️, Dutch lion🦁, and German eagle🦅. Instead the Continental Congress chose an American eagle but kept Du Simitière’s motto E Pluribus Unum—Out of Many, One.
In honor of #NationalBirdDay, here’s a few eagles from our collection.
1️⃣ This impressive eagle was carved around 1850. While it is not exactly the Great Seal (on the seal the eagle holds a quiver of arrows and an olive branch), it was no doubt inspired by the seal’s design.
2️⃣ This table cloth featuring a bald eagle was embroidered by French women during World War I. It, and other embroidery) was sold in America through the Society for Employment of Women in France, and all of the money from their sale went back to the women and their families in France.
3️⃣ Sadao Oka joined a bird-carving class while at Poston, a Japanese Incarceration camp during World War II. Supplies were scarce, so he used the ends of wooden egg crates and surplus wire mesh from window screens to create the pins.
4️⃣ Artist and German immigrant Louis Maurer drew this bald Eagle in 1870. During the 1800s, more than five million Germans came to the United States. You can find out more about this wave of immigration, and the Great Seal, in our exhibit Many Voices, One Nation.
