Arms of the Free State of Cuba, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Arms of the Free State of Cuba, 1850. Some of the principal features of this device are borrowed from the arms of the United States. The form of the shield, the liberty cap which surmounts it, and the American flag in the left foreground, are each and all evidences of the respect which Cubans have for the nation whose form of government they desire to imitate...The palm tree is the emblem adopted for the island itself...The upper half of the shield represents the southerly point of Florida, sustained by the United States flag; and the northerly point of Cuba sustained by the flag of Free Cuba; the narrow passage between being considered and represented as the key to the Gulf of Mexico...The filling in of the different insignia of war and nationality is after the plan adopted in the United States'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
