Download or read book Heraldic Design written by Hubert Allcock and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the ages, as warfare and competitive rituals became more elaborate, heraldry evolved into an exact art and science. Used to denote accomplishments as well as the genealogies of outstanding individuals and families, these symbols survived the way of life that created them. This remarkably rich sourcebook of royalty-free designs describes the origins and ancient forms of heraldic devices, shields, and trademarks. Over 500 black-and-white drawings trace the history and meaning of the coat, shield, crests, helmets, blazonry, and "attitudes and attributes" of symbols, with considerable attention given to devices such as beasts, monsters, and human and part-human figures. American, British, French, Russian, and other coats of arms are displayed, as are insignias of the Pope and clergy, state seals, and emblems of many modern institutions. In addition to personal, commercial, and family arms, chapters also provide information on the use of heraldry in advertising, brand-labeling, and related fields. A valuable visual reference for anyone interested in genealogy, these handsome images will add a touch of class to a variety of art and craft projects.

Download or read book The Art of Heraldry written by P. Ll Gwynn-Jones and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those who regard heraldry as an archaic and irrelevant institution ignore its most vital quality: an awesome visual powerthat remains just as strong today as it was in the Middle Ages. The art of heraldry dazzles and delights with stunning colors, fanciful creatures, and precise elements of design. Whether featuring delicate borders of dog rose and campion, or shocking images of deadly monsters and disembodied heads, heraldry's menagerie of beasts, real or imagined, and often bizarre choice of symbols, cannot fail to inspire admiration and bemusement. In The Art of Heraldry, Peter-Gwyn-Jones, Garter King of Arms, explores the history of heraldic art from the poetic legends that sought to explain the origin of unusual animals and unexpected charges, to the artistic interpretations and misrepresentations that evolved into those images. He also considers the contributions of the most prominent heraldic artists and catalogs the various schools and periods of heraldic art - 20th century work provides a welcome opportunity to appreciate the skill of the modern heraldry and artistic decoration of letters has too often gone unrecognized. -- from dust jacket.
