About This Item
New Orchard Editions, Poole, Dorset, 1983. Reprint. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Good. VII, 232 pages, last three pages blank, includes bibliography, index of names, arms and devices, text illustrated in black-and-white, and colour plates. Aside from minor rubbing of the edges of the jacket, and previous owner's name on half title page,the book is in very good order. This book is a lavishly illustrated and extensively research study of the complex rules and customs governing the international subject of heraldry. Scholarly in depth, yet wide and readable in its approach, this book shows why the popularity of family heraldry is increasing and why the subject continues to arouse such interest. In an informative text, and in the detailing cross-reference captions to 1250 illustrations, over 150 in colour, the author brings his knowledge to be on every aspect of heraldry. Using his own illustrations, he discusses the differences in heroic style between the countries in Europe, and also shows how these differences affect those countries where heraldry has been introduced by migrating or colonising Europeans. .
