Wax seal, 105 mm width; well framed. Rare: one of the finest known impressions of the "Great Seal" of New South Wales. This was the third official seal, first used in the reign of George IV, featuring a beautifully realised if heavily idealised view of convicts being welcomed to Sydney. These impressions are notoriously rare, not least because the wax is so prone to damage. Although the seal was the fundamental symbol of government and the only way in which official pronouncements could be ratified in New South Wales, it was one of the more alarming omissions from the outfitting of the First Fleet: one had been specifically referred to in Phillip's commission, but its manufacture hadn't even been ordered by the time they sailed, meaning that for four years Phillip was forced to use his own smaller private seal on official papers (HRA). This was, of course, highly unorthodox, and it was a great relief to the colonial government when the first seal finally arrived in the colony on the Gorgon in September 1791, under warrant from George III. The First Fleeter David Collins (as the Judge Advocate General he was particularly attuned to the niceties of the situation) was relieved and delighted, lovingly describing it in his book as "very well executed" and describing how in the design "attention had been paid to its local and peculiar circumstances." Collins repeatedly refers to the authority of the seal in his account of the first decade of the settlement in Sydney, usually in terms of grants of land or pardons. Such was its importance that it was one of the items that Governor Bligh particularly singled out as having been seized by the Rum Rebellion conspirators (Proceedings of a General Court-Martial, p. 10): indeed, its later use by the Rebels caused all manner of thorny legal complications, to the extent that Governor Macquarie felt compelled to publicly reclaim it in a ceremony on the parade ground of the Army barracks in Sydney in 1810, soon after he arrived, in order to publicly signify the return of rightful authority (Baskerville). A change in the design of the royal arms in 1816 necessitated a new version be sent out in 1817, and this remained in use until 1827 when the new "Great Seal" belatedly arrived, sent out to Governor Darling by Earl Bathurst. The design shows a small group of well-dressed convicts having their fetters struck off so that they can be received by the personification of Industry, surrounded by her attributes (the distaff and bee-hive, as well as agricultural implements). In the background can be glimpsed the outlines of a harbour, complete with battlements, the spire of an impressive church and the sails of one of the transports. The seal famously includes the motto 'Sic fortis etruria crevit [Thus gallant Etruria grew],' originally from Virgil but also an indirect nod to the famous Sydney Cove Medallion of Wedgwood (see catalogue no. XXXX), which not only had a similar mise-en-scène, but specifically mentioned his 'Etruria' factory. Genuine impressions of the seal are scarce today, partly because the fragile wax was so easily damaged but also because the protocol was that the original seal had to be immediately returned and defaced. Collectors of early land grants on vellum will know that the seal has almost always been cut away, leaving only a fragment of the ribbon by which it was originally attached. Examples of the Great Seal are rare in commerce and particularly so in such fine condition as this. .
