A feast for the eyes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Heraldry: A Pictorial Archive for Artists and Designers (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
Like all Dover publications, I was not disappointed when I picked up this book. The illustrations themselves are rich and detailed, truly a feast for the eyes, for any artist or craftsperson. The helpful text and detailed descriptions make the book easy to use and very enjoyable. This book makes a fantastic suplement to the "Design Your Own Coat of Arms" by Rosemary A. Chorzempa (Dover), because it gives you a great wealth of ideas from which to work. I highly reccommend this book to anyone who has an interest in heraldry, you won't be disappointed.

Artists book not for researchers,
This review is from: Heraldry: A Pictorial Archive for Artists and Designers (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
If you want to know what different styles of family emblems people have had this is a great book. If you want to know anything about the individual designs (whos it was, where it is from, age of origin), this is not the book. The book is 70% black and white and 30% color. It would be great for an artist, not a researcher.

Fantastic book of heraldry for artists,
By
This review is from: Heraldry: A Pictorial Archive for Artists and Designers (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful collection of over 1,047 individual coats of arms and full armorial achievements, with 393 in color. It is entirely a visual book, so there is no explanation of what one is looking at, but for a beginning heraldic artist looking for pointers or anyone interested in looking at heraldic art, you can't go wrong.
