About this book
English Heraldic Book-stamps presents figured and described stamps, with contents listing an introduction, coats of arms, a bibliography and indices. The account of Queen Elizabeth's bindings notes small series of triple dots and small corner pieces appearing for the first time on small books bound towards the end of her reign. The account of Queen Elizabeth's supporters identifies the golden lion and red dragon on some painted bindings, while stating that neither appears on the stamps.
The entry for Heneage Finch, Earl of Aylesford, supplies arms, a coronet and a motto. The entry for Thomas, Sixth Baron Windsor, describes a buck's head as the crest and a peer's helmet.
