I have seen an image of this seal in only one place, a book entitled *Albany's Tercentenary* (Albany, 1924) [no author attributed]. It features a picture of a beaver, with "Albany" above it and "1752" below it. A reference to the adoption of the seal by the Corporation of Albany can be found in Joel Munsell, *The Annals of Albany*, 10 volumes (Albany, 1850-59) 10:149-50. I would like to reproduce an image of the seal in a forthcoming book. Do any listmembers have suggestions for tracking it down? Feel free to contact me directly at [log in to unmask] Many thanks, Tim Shannon Timothy J.
