Vintage Coat of Arms Province Canada. Northwest Territories Poster. Heraldry. Emblem. Fox Head. Shield

Vintage poster depicting the coat of arms of the Northwest Territories (province of Canada) probably late 1950s.

The coat of arms of the Northwest Territories was granted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1956 and represents the geography of the territory at the time. The upper white third of the shield represents the polar ice cap and is divided by a wavy blue band that symbolises the Northwest Passage. The lower part of the shield is divided by a wavy diagonal line representing the tree line: the green part symbolises the southern forest, and the red part the northern tundra.
Minerals and furs, the main riches of the North, are represented by gold billets on the green tip and the polar fox's head on the red tip.

This is a beautiful execution of a 1950s heraldic poster. Hand lettering and drawing. Finished with gold paint.
Very interesting vintage graphic.
Very good vintage condition. Left corners very slightly bent (see photos)
Resplendent colors
