This is a black-and-white engraved coat of arms on a rectangular card. At the center sits a shield with a pattern of stripes and shapes, topped by a deer and flanked by two winged figures. Swirls and a banner with Latin words wrap around the shield. Below, the name "Thomas Palmer" is written in fancy script. The banner says *"Nostra Vox"* (our voice) and *"N-Hurd Sculp."* That’s the artist’s signature—Nathaniel Hurd made this. Next, check out Nathaniel Hurd (American, 1730–1778) to see more of his work.
