More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
This classic book, by a noted authority in the field, sets forth the basic principles of English heraldry. First published in 1913, the clearly written text, accompanied by 165 illustrations explains the origins of heraldry, defines its terms and apparatus, and demonstrates how individuals and families arranged and distinguished their coats of arms. The many and varied forms and devices of heraldry - including lozenges, roundels, and banners of arms: crests, badges, rebuses, and supporters - are clearly described. Then follows a chronology of the growth and deterioration of English heraldry from the 13th to the 19th centuries. A helpful section on heraldic nomenclature concludes the volume. Of immense value to anyone fascinated by the history and evolution of heraldry, this profusely illustrated reference will also serve as a rich source of inspiration for artists.
