Publisher's Note
Originally created to supply models of good heraldic design, this copiously illustrated landmark work (1913) features a splendid array of classic heraldic motifs. While these specimens date from as early as 1200 A.D. to as late as 1600 A.D., the focus is on the 14th and 15th centuries, when the art of heraldry reached an unsurpassed period of refinement. Drawn from buildings, monuments, and architectural elements and encompassing a variety of media, from tiles and stained glass windows to badges and banners, the designs are presented here in eight color plates and over 250 black-and-white illustrations. In addition to the magnificent illustrations, the text offers authoritative discussions of the authentic arrangement of heraldic devices, the treatment of shields, crests, and mantlings; the use of badges, knots, and the rebus; displays of banners of arms; placement of insignia in heraldic embroideries; and much more. W. H, St. John Hope's influential work has exercised significant influence on the style of English armorial design in the 20th century. Now, this fine edition, with a new Introduction by Helmut Nickel, Curator Emeritus, Arms and Armor, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is sure to be of interest to artists, designers and craftspeople. However, its appeal extends as well to the large numbers of people interested in heraldry and the history and evolution of these eye-catching devices from days gone by.
