THE SEALS
Here below are presented The Seals, a symbolic representation of the themes, characters, setting and interpretation of liberty & property within the series so far.
They are original and there is one to accompany each volume of the saga. They also depict constitutional themes. Each seal is named.
Some of the representations will change as the series progresses and some will remain.
The four representations sit on a water-marked wagon wheel. The Taylor family motto
We Will Not Be Slaves
appears in the ribbon at the bottom. The smaller writing at the center of the wheel reads
The birthright we hold.
