The royal lineage of our noble and gentle families. Together with their paternal ancestry ..
A two-volume heraldic and genealogical reference compiled by Joseph Foster and published by Hatchards in London in 1887, tracing the royal descents of British gentry and noble families for antiquarians and family historians. The plates are dense black-line woodcut banners in Renaissance style: strapwork cartouches holding a helm and shield, flanked by lions, tilting shields and grotesque masks, useful as rule-and-panel headpieces, crest motifs, or ornament for masthead and certificate work.
