59-1005. GREAT SEAL OF
STATE. The
design drawn and executed by Miss Emma Edwards, of Boise City, and reported and
recommended by the select joint committee to devise a great seal for the state,
with the Latin motto "Esto Perpetua," is adopted, and is hereby made
the great seal of the state of Idaho. The painting shall serve as the model as
to color and form for the center of the seal. The five-pointed star in the
painting shall be within a border encircling the painting. Within the border
shall be the words: Great Seal of the state of Idaho. The secretary of state,
with the approval of the state board of examiners, shall have designed the
appropriate encircling border and wording as herein set forth and shall have
the same superimposed on a fully colored reproduction of the painting. This,
when completed, shall be designated as the "Official Copy" of the
great seal of the state of Idaho and shall be maintained in the office of the
secretary of state.
