Ridiculous Coat of Arms Across Nations Drawn from a Dictionary
A harsh caricature lists nations and their supposed arms with grotesque imagery. Prussia shows two half naked dancers, Finland a lion with a cane, Norway a waltzing lion, China a serpentine fish, Scotland a smiling lion, Hayti a bird and palm balance, Holland a daggered lion, Bavaria dogs on a shield, United States a clumsy eagle with ribbons and fruit, various states like Arizona Montana Kentucky North Carolina Michigan Virginia Indiana and California receive similarly absurd depictions. The author mocks national emblems as tasteless and inconsistent, noting errors and a final caveat about dictionary credibility.
