EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and historically rich Coat of Arms of Glasgow, Scotland. Taken from The Business Encyclopaedia and Legal Adviser, published in 1907, this design is a remarkable representation of the city's heritage. The illustration features a bishop holding a crozier, symbolizing the importance of religion in Glasgow's history. A shield with various emblems adorns the bishop's side, depicting fish and an oak tree - symbols that hold significant meaning for the region. The crest proudly displays a motto that reads "Let Glasgow Flourish" reflecting the city's aspirations for growth and prosperity. Notably, two emblematic creatures take center stage on this coat of arms: a robin and a salmon. These animals represent Saint Kentigern (also known as Saint Mungo), who played a crucial role in establishing Christianity in Glasgow during medieval times. With its heraldic elements carefully crafted within an escutcheon or shield-shaped frame, this historical artifact serves as both an archive piece and an emblematic tribute to Scottish culture. Its presence evokes feelings of nostalgia while reminding us of our roots and traditions. As we delve into this 20th-century relic filled with badges, blazons, and symbols intertwined with Welsh influences, we are transported back to another era—a time when heraldry was cherished as an art form that celebrated identity and history.
