A treatise on heraldry, British and foreign : with English and French glossaries

Woodward, John, 1837-1898 · 1896 · Edinburgh ; London : W. & A.K. Johnston · 26 pictures

A two-volume reference on British and Continental heraldry by John Woodward, published in Edinburgh and London in 1896 for antiquaries, genealogists and armorial draughtsmen, with English and French glossaries. The line engravings isolate single objects — conical and barrel helms, jewelled crowns, riveted plate, a shield charged with a fleur-de-lis — drawn in plain outline with hatched shading, useful as crisp emblem silhouettes and hardware details.
