Stock No.16766
A rare 19th century wooden armorial cartouche of shield form, beautifully painted with Bristol's Civic Arms, and the motto "Virtute et Industria" or By Virtue and Industry. This motto and the arms were adopted by the city in the 16th century, and represents the city's maritime heritage and industry. This is a wonderfully decorated cartouche, akin to the hatchments found in churches, but likely to have been displayed in an important civic building, such as the city hall.
English, early 19th century.
