Foster listed alphabetically in one volume all recorded noblemen and knights and their arms. He based his work on medieval rolls and reference material that was available to him at the time. A vast number of these were illustrated...[but] lacked color. The Dictionary of Heraldry takes Foster's original work and the vibrant colors of feudal arms thereby enhancing a comprehensive reference volume with the simple, bold and noble colors of heraldry." ; As New .
