The copy I read assumed that the book's owner would paint in the illustrations, based on the blazons in the text. It provided a page of suggested paint colors for each heraldic tincture. The text itself thus might have a strip of several shields with the outline of identical charges, distinguishable only by the colors that the book's owner was expected to add. Since this book had been in a public library, the shields were not painted.
What I found most interesting was the discussion of heraldic cadency for the "natural son" of nobility. In other words, an illegitimate child. Such a natural child has rights to the armory of his father, but with a sign of cadency, and the understanding that he is the root of a separate cadet branch.
There are also 3 chapters at the end to follow the use of cadency in heraldry from the 16th c. to the modern era. Heralds will find this a Fascinating book, with a rather old-fashioned style of writing, and a more antiquarian feel, rather than modern research paper style of writing. I rate this at 5 stars for heralds, or 3 stars for readers who are not heralds.… (meer)
