The territory was created from the [[U.S. provisional government of New Mexico]], a result of [[Santa Fe de Nuevo México]] becoming part of the [[American frontier]] after the [[Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo]]. It existed with varying boundaries until the territory was [[List of U.S. states by date of admission to the Union|admitted to the Union]] as the state of [[New Mexico]]. This illustration, created by Henry Mitchell for ''[[Historical armorial of U.S. states from 1876#State Arms of the Union|State Arms of the Union]]'', published by [[Louis Prang]] in 1876, depicts the territory's coat of arms, adopted by legislation in 1887: "The coat of arms of the territory of New Mexico shall be the Mexican Eagle grasping a serpent in its beak, the cactus in its talons, shielded by the American eagle with outspread wings, and grasping arrows in its talons." The year 1850, representing the territory's organization, appears in [[Roman numerals]] under the eagles, and below the shield is the Latin motto {{lang|la|Crescit eundo}} ('It grows as it goes'). <p style="text-align:left;"><small>Illustration credit: Henry Mitchell; restored by [[User:Godot13|Andrew Shiva]]</small></p> <div class="potd-recent" style="text-align:right;"> Recently featured: {{flatlist|class=inline|1= * [[Template:POTD/2022-12-02|Bézier curve]] * [[Template:POTD/2022-12-01|Red-bellied piranha]] * [[Template:POTD/2022-11-30|Siege of Kolberg]] }}</div> {{flatlist|class=potd-footer noprint|style=text-align:right;|1= * '''[[Wikipedia:Picture of the day/Archive|Archive]]''' * '''[[Wikipedia:Featured pictures|More featured pictures]]''' }} |}<noinclude>[[Category:Wikipedia Picture of the day {{#time:F Y|{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}]] == See also == * [[Template:POTD{{#ifeq:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}|POTD protected|| protected}}/{{#titleparts:{{FULLPAGENAME}}||2}}]]</noinclude>
