Summary

Description
English: Notes by John Vinycomb:

In August, 1890, a "grant of arms" (it should more properly be termed a "confirmation") was obtained [by the city of Belfast] from Sir Bernard Burke, Ulster King of Arms, the heraldic device being exactly the same as on the Le Squire Seal of 1640, with the addition of a mural coronet on the neck of the sea-horse supporter and crest, to mark the new accession of dignity as a city. In accordance therewith, a larger corporate seal was designed and executed by Marcus Ward & Co., Ld., and is the one now in use.
