This seal image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file "1817 Alabama seal WPA.svg" – then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Elements of the design include a map of Alabama's river system affixed to a living tree. Variations on the design were used in Territorial and State documents including currency and uniform insignia issued during the U. S. Civil War (1861–1865)
