In 1907 a stained glass representation of the Great Seal was installed in the ceiling of the hallway leading from the Capitol's rotunda. To show off an exciting technological advance of the time, electricity rather than sunshine was used to light up the seal.

Today the Great Seal is stamped on all approved bills signed into law, as well as other important government documents. In fact a faint image of the seal appears on every California driver's license.
