Vermont, U.S.A.: Charles E. TuttleCo.: Publishers. Fine in Fair dust jacket. 1971. First Tuttle Edition. Hardcover. 0804806942 . "This important work, long out of print, has two important and invaluable assets,: It delves beyond the books on heraldry, giving 'original evidences derived from representations of arms which exist in rolls of arms, in windows or in carvings. Secondly, its information is not limited to England or Scotland, but is liberal in heraldic instances taken throughout Europe. There is no other publication at present in English which gives such detail on Continental heraldry.' Strikingly colourful and authentic illustrations are the life blood of this vibrant work which contains no less than 56 full-page plates, the great majority in colour, and 106 illustrations in text." - dust jacket. pp. xxxviii, 858. Extensive index. Book in superior condition - clean, bright and unmarked with nary a trace of wear. Price-clipped dust jacket, now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart, is generally in worthy condition but for loss and openings at head of spine. Overall, a quality copy of this superlative reference.; 8vo .
