About the book >.>.> Incorporating some stunning illustrations, many of which have never before been published, Heraldry explores the history, symbolism, and artistry of the heraldic system, providing an invaluable introduction to this fascinating subject. The origins of heraldry date back to twelfth-century Europe, and the authors, both of whom are Officers of Arms, draw upon their expertise to trace the history of the use of heraldry, from the pageantry of the medieval tournament to its use today by corporations and individuals worldwide. Over the centuries, heraldic decoration has evolved to become a precise art, governed by its own rules and methods using its own language. Simple geometric shapes decorated the early shields, but later changes became increasingly intricate, displaying a veritable menagerie of fantastic beasts, birds, and flora, as well as embellishments such as supporters, helms, and crests. The development of the role of the heralds themselves has also reflected the changing times. Initially just recorders of coats. Artikel-Nr. Batch-FM665-VG-13657
