The peerage of Ireland : or, A genealogical history of the present nobility of that kingdom
A seven-volume genealogical history of the Irish nobility compiled by John Lodge and revised by Mervyn Archdall, published in Dublin by J. Moore in 1789 for peers, antiquaries and genealogists. Copperplate engravings show each family's arms: a shield, coronet, crest and paired supporters over a motto ribbon, with hatched and stippled tinctures useful as heraldic beasts, banner shapes and crest silhouettes.
