The handbook of heraldry : with instructions for tracing pedigrees and deciphering ancient mss., also, rules for the appointment of liveries, etc. etc.
A manual of heraldry by John Edwin Cussans, published in London by Chatto and Windus in 1869 for genealogists, antiquaries, and readers deciphering old manuscripts and appointing liveries. The 216 wood-engraved cuts are small outline shields showing ordinaries, partition lines, charges, and quartered arms, with hatching standing for tinctures — a ready stock of flat black-and-white geometric devices.
