The embossed seal on New Jersey license plates in 1908 served to authenticate the plates and signify that they were officially issued by the state. This was part of an effort to standardize vehicle registration and enhance identification, as the popularity of automobiles was rising. The embossed design made the plates more durable and difficult to forge, thereby improving law enforcement's ability to track vehicle ownership.

What is the first license plate to ever use an image?

Depends on what you consider an "image". New Jersey in 1908 started attaching an embossed seal to the license plate, which has an image stamped into it. In 1910, Michigan had their State Seal figured into the porcelain enamel on their plates, until 1914, so that is a detailed image. But in 1917 Arizona stamped an image of a bull's head into their steel plates to advertise the cattle exports. Depends on what you consider an "image".
