Summary
Description Seal of Borough of the Bronx.svg |
English:
The Seal of
The Bronx
, comprising the seal of
Jonas Bronck
, the borough's namesake, superimposed upon the colors of The Bronx flag. The American
(golden) eagle
sitting atop the hemisphere is believed to be facing east to indicate homage to the Old World, while the banner reads the latin
"ne cede malis"
meaning "yield not to evil things".
Versions of the flag and seal exist with both stripes superimposed on the seal, or otherwise behind a white background. The official art,
as illustrated in an annual report of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society
contains a white background behind the seal, and an example of this can also be seen in
this photo
of the
Bronx County Courthouse
. However the seal by itself often appears with the colors of the flag superimposed on its background, as indicated in the line-art on the
stationary of the borough president
and
"Bronx Borough Day" pins
from the early 20th century.}}
