This fascinating and comprehensive introduction is both scholarly written and richly illustrated with stunning full colour photographs and illustrations by the author himself. Discussed are topics such as the origins of heraldry, colours, armorial bearings and ecclesiastical heraldry. A section on modern usage brings heraldry right up to date, while the glossary is simply indispensable.
