Description
Boutell’s Heraldry by J. P. Brooke-Little is a comprehensive guide to heraldry, exploring the history, development and practical use of coats of arms and heraldic traditions. This revised edition examines heraldry as both a subject of historical interest and a living tradition, covering the origins and significance of arms as well as their use by individuals and organisations.
The book includes new sections on the arms of Norroy and Ulster, changes to regulations concerning personal arms, and the arms of the Princess of Wales. Illustrated with twenty-eight plates in colour and more than four hundred text figures, it also includes an updated bibliography, index and glossary.
This 1973 vintage hardback edition is a useful reference for readers interested in heraldry, genealogy, British history and traditional armorial practice.
