5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent basic source for British heraldic theory,
By
This review is from: Heraldry (Hardcover)
Probably the most popular general text on the subject, and with good reason. From the first appearance of Boutell's Manual of Heraldry in 1863, through the dozen or more revisions and complete rewrites that followed, its purpose always has been to provide clearly written, up-to-date information on (primarily) the British system of heraldry for the general reader. Relatively nontechnical, considering the subject, and there is a sampling of many subordinate topics: The history of heraldry, defini-tions and specialized terminology, the visual art of armory, differencing and cadency, the crest and motto, royal heraldry and orders of knighthood, and "recent trends and developments." Well-illustrated, including numerous color plates.
