Description: Howard Chandler Christy, during the celebrations in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Treaty of Greenville, which took place in August 1945. Events included a parade, an appreciation dinner for Christy, and exhibition of the original Treaty of Greenville (1795), on loan from the National Archives. The State of Ohio commissioned Christy to create a work for the 150th anniversary of the treaty that ended the Indian Wars in Ohio. The painting "The Signing of the Treaty of Greene Ville" was unveiled in a ceremony on August 3, 1945. A prominent early 20th century illustrator and artist, Howard Chandler Christy (1873-1952) was born on a farm in Morgan Township, Ohio. He first gained notice as an illustrator during the Spanish-American War, but achieved lasting fame for his trademark "Christy Girls," dream girls who idealized feminine beauty during this era. Between 1908 and 1915, he worked from a studio perched above the Muskingum River near Duncan Falls. In the 1920s Christy began to paint portraits and historical scenes. "The Signing of the Constitution of the United States," displayed in the U.S. Capitol, is his most famous work. "The Signing of the Treaty of Green Ville" hangs in the Ohio Statehouse.

Description: This image is a photographic reproduction of a print of the Great Seal of the State of Ohio. The State of Ohio has had an official seal for more than two hundred years. During that time, the state government has modified the seal several times. The current state seal was adopted in 1996. The seal illustrates Ohio's diverse geography. In the background stands Mount Logan in Ross County. Separating Mount Logan from the rest of the seal is the Scioto River. In the foreground is a freshly harvested wheat field. In the field stands a sheaf of wheat, illustrating the importance of agriculture in Ohio. Nearby stand seventeen arrows that resemble the sheaf of wheat. The seventeen arrows represent Ohio's Native Americans as well as the fact that Ohio was the seventeenth state to join the United States of America. At the top of the seal is the sun, with thirteen rays protruding outwards. The thirteen rays represent the thirteen colonies that became the original thirteen states of the United States. Some early versions of the seal also had a canal boat on the river. According to historical lore, the seal was based on the eastern view from Adena, the home of Thomas Worthington near Chillicothe. Worthington was one of Ohio's first two United States senators and he served as the sixth governor of the state. Today, Adena is a museum operated by the Ohio Historical Society. Most scholars now believe that Adena's view did not inspire the seal. View on Ohio Memory.
